Spade & Archer

by Joe Gores

This is what happened in the years before onThe Maltese Falcon, and the great thing about this book is that you'd swear it was actually written before Hammett's famous book was.  This tale of Sam Spade lacks the post-modern knowingness of some modern day re-writes of famous fictional characters.  Gores plays it straight and lets us sink in to a long, complicated noir story that satisfies on its own merits, as well as providing a fitting tribute to the legacy of The Maltese Falcon.
