The stunning prequel to Dashiell Hammett's crime classic THE MALTESE FALCON.
When Sam Spade gets drawn into the Maltese Falcon case, we know what to
expect: straight talk, hard questions, no favours, and no way for anyone to
get underneath the protective shell he wears like a second skin. We know that
his late partner, Miles Archer, was a son of a bitch; that Spade is sleeping
with Archer's wife. What we don't know is how Spade became who he is. Now
SPADE & ARCHER completes the picture.
1921: Spade sets up his own agency in San Francisco and clients quickly start
coming through the door. The next seven years will see him dealing with booze
runners, water-front thugs, stowaways, banking swindlers, gold smugglers,
bumbling cops, and the illegitimate daughter of Sun Yat-sen; with murder,
other men's mistresses, and long-missing money. He'll bring in Archer as a
partner, though it was Archer who stole his girl while he was fighting in
World War I. He'll tangle with a villain who never loses his desire to make
Spade pay big for ruining what should've been the perfect crime. And he'll
fall in love - though it won't turn out for the best. It never does with
dames...
