Synopsis

The crime classic that inspired the 1941 film and the AMC series Monsieur Spade, The Maltese Falcon is the most famous noir of all time, and its hard-boiled detective is the prime leading man of the genre.
After his partner is killed during a stakeout ordered by the shifty Brigid O’Shaughnessy, Private Detective Sam Spade finds himself tangled in a crime-filled wild goose chase marked by red herrings and grifters. Its object? A jewel-encrusted falcon statuette, once gifted to the King of Spain by the Knights of Malta, and then stolen by pirates. This fast-paced detective adventure is chock-full of missteps—with guns pointing every which way from Constantinople to Hong Kong to San Francisco.
