S2E32 Today we've got a classic of the hardboiled detective genre, stuffed with husky dames, fat masterminds, and at the centre of it all a scowling anti-hero, the pleasant blond satan, Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's novel gets us talking about the differences between English and American crime fiction, nomenclature and inevitably, Raymond Chandler.
