Named one of Time Magazine's 100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time, The Maltese Falcon is an intense and immersive hard-boiled detective novel that inspired multiple adaptations-including the popular film noir classic staring Humphrey Bogart.

This stunning new collector's hardcover edition includes brand new black and white illustrations, a foil printed cover, and gorgeous sprayed edges.

Brilliant detective Sam Spade is the quintessential private eye, with his own code of ethics. When a standard stakeout goes wrong and Spade's partner is killed, he finds himself drawn into the hunt for a fantastic treasure with of dubious origin-a golden bird encrusted with jewels.

But he's not the only one on the trail of the Falcon. Hot on his heels are Joel Cairo, a perfumed grifter; an oversized adventurer named Gutman; and Spade's new client Brigid O'Shaughnessy, a beautiful but treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a hat.

A classic that redefined the genre, The Maltese Falcon is a must read for mystery fans.
