Literary California (Part 2)
The first of these was Dashiell Hammett (1884-1961), a tubercular former Pinkerton Agency detective and San Francisco resident. He began writing for Black Mask and other \"pulp\" crime-fiction magazines in the 1920s. He then went on to produce five novels, including The Maltese Falcon (1930). Hammett\'s work boasted a grim realism not found in either British whodunits or more venal tales by pulp writers lacking his investigative credentials.
