L'ombra dell'uomo ombra (1941)
Nick Charles deve indagare su un delitto nel mondo delle corse dei cavalli. Più che la moglie Nora, è il suo intelligente cagnetto Asta che gli dà una mano. Si fa per dire. Non è dei migliori, ma la qualità della stoffa è indiscutibile. Powell, nel personaggio inventato da Hammett, porta il giallo ai confini della commedia, e li supera. Seguito da L'uomo ombra torna a casa.
