About this book
In The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett we find Nick Charles, a former detective who has given up his profession to manage his wife Nora's lumber fortune, which allows the couple to lead an easy life of nonstop parties and cocktails. Yet, when the secretary of a former client is murdered, Nick is drawn in, urged on by Nora, who loves a mystery. Hammett's portrayal of sophisticated New York café society during Prohibition and his witty protagonists Nick and Nora Charles made this the most popular of his works, if not the most successful critically.
