«El primer hombre delgado» is a hardback crime novel by Dashiell Hammett, published by Seix Barral (128 pages, in Spanish).
In 1930, Hammett wrote ten chapters of a novel he left unfinished; they were not published until 1975 in City Magazine. This volume recovers that material unpublished in Spanish, a direct precursor to The Thin Man: when he returned to it, Hammett transformed the professional detective into a millionaire amateur investigator.
Volume in the Únicos collection, with an epilogue by Justo Navarro. Edition with illustrated dust jacket, published by Seix Barral in September 2005.
For readers of classic crime fiction who want to discover the origin of The Thin Man and the evolution of Hammett's style.
