Event Details

Join us for OPL's mystery book club, Bodies in the Library. We read and discuss mystery novels stories set in various communities around the world. Intrigued? Then register and grab a copy this month's book at the library and meet us on the first Tuesday of the month in the 2nd floor conference room. 

This month we'll be discussing The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.

Detective Sam Spade is a private eye with his own solitary code of ethics. When his partner is killed during a stakeout, he is drawn into the hunt for a fantastic treasure with a dubious provenance--a golden bird encrusted with jewels. Also on the trail are a perfumed grifter named Joel Cairo, an oversized adventurer named Gutman, and Spade's new client Brigid O'Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime. 

These are the ingredients of Dashiell Hammett's coolly glittering gem of detective fiction, a novel that has haunted generations of readers.
