The Hammett Hex (A Book Collector Mystery 5)

The national bestselling author of The Marsh Madness takes rare book collector Jordan Bingham on a trip to San Franciscoâ€”home to Dashiell Hammettâ€™s hard-boiled heroesâ€”where nothing is as it seems.
Â
On a getaway to the City by the Bay, book collector Jordan Bingham becomes entangled in a mystery with more twists than Lombard Street...
Â
Jordan has been able to swing a romantic trip to San Francisco with Officer Tyler â€œSmileyâ€ Dekker on one conditionâ€”she must return with a rare copy of Dashiell Hammettâ€™s Red Harvest for her irascible employer, Vera Van Alst. For his own part, Smiley is full of surprises. Heâ€™s a Dashiell devotee himselfâ€”excited to be in the city of Hammettâ€™s hard-boiled heroes like Sam Spade and the Continental Opâ€”and also announces he plans to visit his previously unmentioned estranged grandmother, who lives in an old Victorian in Pacific Heights.
Â
But the trip goes downhill fast when Jordan is pushed from a cable car and barely escapes death. And when a dark sedan tries to run the couple down, itâ€™s clear someoneâ€™s after themâ€”but who? Just like in Hammettâ€™s world, nothing is quite what is seems...
