    I'm curious now to read a little Death in the Dark. Thanks for posting—fascinating history.

    Me too, but couldn't find it for sale anywhere. Let me know if you score a copy.

    Does this mean we won't see Skylar Hobbs on the Grimpen Mire?

    But seriously, folks, this is the first I've ever heard of this. Is it mentioned in any of the Hammett biographies?

    There is an article here as well from the Kingston Daily Gleaner.
