The Dain Curse (The Continental Op #2)

Dashiell Hammett
3.79/5 (6684 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Miss Gabrielle Dain Leggett is young and wealthy, with a penchant for morphine and religious cults. She also has an unfortunate effect on the people around her. They die - violently.

Is she the victim of a family curse? She believes so and has been reminded of the curse many times. The short, squat, utterly unsentimental Continental Op, the best private detective around, has his doubts and finds himself confronting something infinitely more dangerous.

It's the Continental Op's most bizarre case.
