The listings he furnished are from a book entitled "Shadow Man: the Life of Dashiell Hammett" by Richard Lyman. What is interesting is that the book titles are for the most part different, whether these are Canadian books or what I do not know. What is more interesting is that they list story titles not published to my knowledge in the States. A comparison of story titles shows a totally different arrangement, etc. Since these were published from 1944 on, they may reflect pre-McCarthy era before Hammett was blacklisted as a Communist. Any way, for what they are worth: $106,000 Blood Money [Spivak 1943] The Big Knockover $106,000 Blood Money The Adventures of Sam Spade & Other Stories [Spivak 1944] Too Many Have Lived They Can Only Hang You Once A Man Called Spade The Assistant Murderer Nightshade The Judge Laughed Last His Brother's Keeper The Continental Op [Spivak 1945] Fly Paper Death On Pine Street Zigzags of Treachery The Farewell Murder The Return of the Continental Op [Spivak 1945] The Whosis Kid The Gutting of Couffignal Death and Company One Hour The Tenth Clue Hammett Homicides [Spivak 1946] The Main Death Two Sharp Knives Ruffian's Wife Dead Yellow Women [Spivak 1946] Dead Yellow Women The Golden Horseshoe House Dick Who Killed Bob Teal?

Are there in fact some unpublished stories in the U.S. versions? Comments, etc.: tektronix!tekigm2!wrd --Bill--
