Arson Plus: A Continental Op Short Story

Arson Plus: A Continental Op Short Story

Dashiell Hammett
3.2/5 ( ratings)
This classic tale is from "Black Mask" in 1923. It is the first appearance of ''The Continental Op," a character who would eventually appear in over two dozen stories. Our unnamed private detective is stationed in San Francisco and goes out to Sacramento County to investigate an arson at the Thornburgh house on behalf of the Continental Detective Agency's client, an insurance company. The insurance policy was very recent and the company wants to be sure it is legitimate before covering the claim. It turns out to be anything but straight forward!

Librarian's note: this entry relates to the story, "Arson Plus." Collections of short stories, and each of the other individual stories by the author, can be found elsewhere on Goodreads. There are a total of 28 short stories plus one incomplete; they can be found by searching Goodreads for: "a Continental Op Short Story."
