What is Hammett : a Dover crime classic about?

"Joe Gores, like Dashiell Hammett, spent years as a private detective before becoming a novelist; only he could have conceived this stunning novel. He boldly probes the enigmas of the tough, moody, brilliant man who wrote such classics as The Maltese Falcon, The Glass Key, and The Thin Man, and he probes the brawling, corrupt city where Hammett's Sam spade and Continental Op lived and worked. His dialogue crackles and sparks with the wry, tough humor of the twenties. His characters are thinly disguised portraits of the men and women who shook and shaped this most fascinating of American cities. His plot, drawn from actual events in San Francisco's corrupt political past, casts harsh light on a stark and bloody era"-- Provided by publisher
