The Glass Key is a pretty good potboiler. It is short, a fast read. Ned Beaumont is a slightly shady political adviser to a machine boss. But he is a bit more honest than he likes people to know. It has a ending which is not particularly tied up.
So I checked out The Thins Man. I have read a few pages. It looks like the movie. But I do not think Hammett wrote any sequels. I think the movie producers did their own sequels. Hammett missed a bet, it seems.
