What if the character in
The Maltese Falcon were based on real people that Dashiell Hammett had met and dealt with while he worked as a private investigator? What if the black bird really did have some kind of mystical power? What if giving up the bird is what caused Hammett's decades-long writer's block?
That's the premise behind Hammett Unwritten, a noir mystery that will keep you riveted from the first page until the "Afterward" by McAlpine.
