SYNOPSIS
Dashiell Hammett’s "Red Harvest", first published in 1929, is narrated by one of the author’s most famous characters, "The Continental Op", a character loosely based on the author’s own experiences as an operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. The story concerns the investigation of several murders in Personville, known as "Poisonville" to those who live there, a corrupt mining town in Montana. "The Continental Op" is called to the town by newspaper publisher Donald Willsson, who is murdered before the narrator can meet with him. Donald’s father, Elihu Willsson, a local industrialist, finds his control of the town threatened by rival gangs whom he has invited to the town to help end a labor dispute. Soon, the town is embroiled in a gang war, and "The Op" must evade a corrupt police force while he works to restore order once again to the small town. In "Red Harvest", we find a thrilling tale that would begin Hammett’s legacy as one of the greatest authors of the "hard-boiled" mystery genre.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dashiell Hammett
Dashiell Hammett nasceu em 1894, no estado de Maryland, EUA. Começou a trabalhar aos catorze anos para ajudar a sustentar a família e em 1915, tinha então vinte e um anos, foi contratado pela Agência de Detetives Pinkerton. Este período serviu-lhe de inspiração para a escrita de policiais. A sua carreira literária iniciou-se com a publicação de contos na revista Black Mask, protagonizados desde logo pelo investigador Continental Op, um verdadeiro "duro" com vinte anos de experiência, que seria o herói do seu livro de estreia, Colheita Sangrenta, lançado em 1929. O Falcão de Malta, publicado em 1930, é a primeira obra onde surge outra das suas personagens marcantes, o detetive Sam Spade, e continua a ser até hoje o seu livro mais famoso, tendo sido frequentemente transposto para o cinema. Completam a obra essencial de Hammett os títulos A Maldição dos Dain (1929), A Chave de Cristal (1931) e O Homem Sombra (1934). Juntamente com Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett introduziu o realismo nas histórias de detetives e é considerado o pai do género hard-boiled. Faleceu em Nova Iorque a 10 de janeiro de 1961.
