In civilian life I'm a copy editor in Philadelphia. When not reading crime fiction, I like to read history. When doing neither, I like to travel. When doing none of the above, I like listening to music or playing it, the latter rarely and badly. Click here to find an independent bookstore near you.

A very nice article. And a wandering granddaughter job indeed. I'm sorry she didn't have time to know him in life a little bit more, though.
Thanks. Yes, Hammett was just 66 when he died. If Julie Rivett comes to Bouchercon in Long Beach, I might have more questions for her. In the meantime, I could read her mother's book about Hammett, Dashiell Hammett: A Daughter Remembers.
