Small-time gambler and criminal Ned Beaumont investigates the murder of the local senator’s son, heads off a gang war, and clears the name of his immoral political boss, Paul Madvig. Kidnapped, roughed up, and on the run, Ned Beaumont holds to his personal code and ultimately exposes the true culprit. Considered one of Dashiell Hammett’s favourites, The Glass Key has been adapted for radio and film, influenced other cinematic works including the award-winning film Miller’s Crossing, and inspired the Glass Key Award for the best crime novel by a Scandinavian author.
