      About This Book

      FRISCO, 1928: WILD AND ROTTEN!

      From Chinatown's covert alleys to the fog- shrouded Golden Gate, crooked politicos ran the town and fattened on its spoils.

      To HAMMETT, retired Pinkerton detective and struggling writer, it was all just grist for his fictional mill--until the night his pal walked into a baseball bat in a bootlegger's closet and HAMMETT put up his typewriter, put on his gumshoes, and went out to play rough with the mob.
