![]() Miss Wonderly has a date tonight with Thursby, what may provide them an opportunity of following him so that he can lead them till her sister. ![]() It seems a straightforward issue, though Sam Spade doesn’t believe a single word of what she’s telling him. Miss Wonderly wants to find her and return back home before her parents may realise what happened. ![]() She fled from New York with a fellow named Floyd Thursby. She wants to find out the whereabouts of her sister, five years her junior. ![]() My take : An attractive young lady, who identifies herself as Wonderly arrives at Spade & Archer, a detective agency at San Francisco. But Miss Wonderly is in fact the beautiful and treacherous Brigid O’Shaughnessy, and when Spade’s partner Miles Archer is shot while on Thursby’s trail, Spade finds himself both hunter and hunted: can he track down the jewel-encrusted bird, a treasure worth killing for, before the Fat Man finds him? Synopsis: Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderly to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby. The hardback edition became available in February 1930. First serialised in Black Mask, between September 1929 and January 1930. ![]() This month the year under review is #1930.
