"Step into the gritty world of Dashiell Hammett's iconic detective, the 'Op,' with this gripping digital audiobook collection. Immerse yourself in the dark underbelly of crime, deceit, and danger as you follow the Op through five thrilling stories: 'Arson Plus,' 'Crooked Souls,' 'Slippery Fingers,' 'It,' and 'Bodies Piled Up.' Each tale is a masterclass in noir storytelling, narrated with mesmerizing depth and authenticity, bringing Hammett's timeless characters and suspenseful plots to life. Get ready for a pulse-pounding listening experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Discover the Op's world in a way you've never experienced before with this digital audiobook collection."

Before Sam Spade chased the black bird in The Maltese Falcon and Nick and Nora Charles stirred their first martinis in The Thin Man, the Continental Op walked early twentieth century San Francisco’s mean streets for the Continental Detective Agency. Dashiell Hammett used his own experiences as a Pinkerton operative to lend realistic detail to this creation. These first five stories were published in Black Mask magazine in 1923. - Summary by Winston Tharp

Get ready for a captivating journey through "The Ghost Hunters" by Allen Upward in our digital audiobook. This haunting story follows Mr. Hargreaves, a seasoned real estate agent, and his trusty secretary, Miss Alwyne Sargent, as they venture into a realm of mystery, where haunted properties conceal chilling secrets.

Within these pages, you'll discover the enigma of properties plagued by apparitions. Why do these buildings remain haunted? Who are these ethereal figures that refuse to move on? Can Mr. Hargreaves and Miss Sargent navigate these supernatural enigmas, solve the mysteries, and successfully close deals without stirring the restless spirits?
