When the last honest citizen of Poisonville was murdered, the Continental Op stayed on to punish the guilty--even if that meant taking on an entire town. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.

Confusing hodgepodge with no interesting writing.

Great old hard boiled detective book.

It makes me want to read Dashiell Hammett's other novels.

Thinning out the herd
The Op gets blood on his hands
not on his conscience.
