Dashiell Hammett first wrote about the Continental Op, the short, fat, balding detective with no home and no personal existence apart from his work, more than 80 years ago. In doing so he created one of the most enduring icons of modern times - the private eye, the isolated hero in a treacherous and brutal world.
