About “The Maltese Falcon”

The Maltese Falcon is a 1930 detective novel by Dashiell Hammett, first published in the magazine Black Mask starting in September 1929. The story is told entirely through external third-person narration, focusing only on characters' actions, dialogue, and appearances, with no insight into their thoughts or emotions. The novel is part of the hardboiled genre, a style Hammett helped popularize. It has been adapted into several films. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
