This King Business - A Continental Op Mystery - Unabridged

Dashiell Hammett's "This King Business" follows the Continental Op into Muravia, a Balkan republic simmering with political conspiracies. 

Our nameless narrator has been tasked with finding Lionel Grantham, a wealthy American whose involvement with competing factions has placed him in danger. Grantham is not merely caught in the turmoil: rival groups are considering making him king as they maneuver to restore the monarchy. 

In this thriller - a favorite among Hammett aficionados - the Op encounters kidnappings, betrayals, corrupt police, shifting loyalties, and political schemes driven as much by money and vanity as by principle. 

"This King Business" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
