«La maldición de los Dain» is the mystery novel by Dashiell Hammett, published by Salvat in paperback within the Biblioteca Básica Salvat (180 pages, in Spanish).
Young Gabrielle Dain Leggett, rich and fond of morphine and religious sects, seems to carry a family curse: those around her die violently. Convinced that fate is pursuing her, the Continental agent takes the case and faces an investigation far more dangerous than expected, in which the chain of crimes revolves around Gabrielle.
The work, originally published in 1929 as «The Dain Curse», is the second novel featuring the Continental agent. This edition includes a prologue by Luis Izquierdo and a translation by Fernando Calleja.
Intended for readers of classic crime fiction and for those familiar with Hammett's Continental agent series.
Samuel Dashiell Hammett was an American writer of hard-boiled detective novels and short stories. He was also a screenwriter and political activist. Among the characters he created are Sam Spade, Nick and Nora Charles, The Continental Op and the comic strip character Secret Agent X-9.
