Red Harvest - Hammett Dashiell

Red Harvest is a novel by American writer Dashiell Hammett. The story is narrated by the Continental Op, a frequent character in Hammett's fiction, much of which is drawn from his own experiences as an operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. The plot is loosely based on the Anaconda Road massacre, a 1920 labor dispute that escalated after a mining company fired upon its miners who were on strike, wounding 16 men and killing another. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel; it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in America and one of the greats of 20th century literature.
