Title: Not Fast Enough
Review: The most interesting aspects of this work are the method by which Hammett chooses to tell the tale and the fact that it shows the development of Hammett as a writer. The reader learns the details of the case as they unfold and are experienced through the eyes and ears of the nameless operative of the Continental Detective Agency. We encounter, with the op, the same truths, half-truths and untruths while moving toward a solution. The problem is we do not always seem to be moving fast enough.
