SYNOPSIS
It was a diamond all right, shining in the grass half a dozen feet from the blue brick walk. It was small, not more than a quarter of a carat in weight, and unmounted. I put it in my pocket and began searching the lawn as closely as I could without going at it on all fours.
I had covered a couple of square yards of sod when the Leggetts’ front door opened.
A woman came out on the broad stone top step and looked down at me with good-humored curiosity.
She was a woman of about my age, forty, with darkish blond hair, a pleasant plump face, and dimpled pink cheeks. She had on a lavender-flowered white housedress.
I stopped poking at the grass and went up to her, asking: “Is Mr. Leggett in?”
“Yes.” Her voice was placid as her face. “You wish to see him?”
I said I did.
She smiled at me and at the lawn.
“You’re another detective, aren’t you?”
I admitted that.

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.
