Der Dünne Mann by Dashiell Hammett
Retired detective Nick Charles and his witty, champagne-loving wife are pulled into a convoluted case when a young woman hires him to find her missing inventor father; their inquiries among New York socialites, suspicious relatives and shady acquaintances quickly unearth murder, deceit and tangled motives. The plot pairs sharp, bantering dialogue and lighthearted domestic scenes with methodical detective work as alibis, false leads and surprises accumulate. In the end the couple’s persistence and chemistry expose the unexpected killer and the darker truths hiding beneath a glittering, booze-soaked surface.
