The Hammett Hex (A Book Collector Mystery 5)

The Hammett Hex (A Book Collector Mystery 5)

The national bestselling author of The Marsh Madness takes rare book collector Jordan Bingham on a trip to San Franciscoâ€”home to Dashiell Hammettâ€™s hard-boiled heroesâ€”where nothing is as it seems.
Â
On a getaway to the City by the Bay, book collector Jordan Bingham becomes entangled in a mystery with more twists than Lombard Street...
Â
Jordan has been able to swing a romantic trip to San Francisco with Officer Tyler â€œSmileyâ€ Dekker on one conditionâ€”she must return with a rare copy of Dashiell Hammettâ€™s Red Harvest for her irascible employer, Vera Van Alst. For his own part, Smiley is full of surprises. Heâ€™s a Dashiell devotee himselfâ€”excited to be in the city of Hammettâ€™s hard-boiled heroes like Sam Spade and the Continental Opâ€”and also announces he plans to visit his previously unmentioned estranged grandmother, who lives in an old Victorian in Pacific Heights.
Â
But the trip goes downhill fast when Jordan is pushed from a cable car and barely escapes death. And when a dark sedan tries to run the couple down, itâ€™s clear someoneâ€™s after themâ€”but who? Just like in Hammettâ€™s world, nothing is quite what is seems...
