![]() ![]() A tinny alarm-clock, insecurely mounted on a corner of Drake’s Celebrated Criminal Cases of America -face down on the table-held its hands at five minutes past two.įinally, here’s the picture I’m most pleased to have captured -a shot of me with Jo Hammett not three feet from where The Maltese Falcon was written! Why bother? Check out this passage from The Maltese Falcon where Spade is woken after Archer is found murdered:Ĭold steamy air blew in through two open windows, bringing with it half a dozen times a minute the Alcatraz foghorn’s dull moaning. That book is Drake’s Celebrated Criminal Cases of America which Bill said he had a hell of a time finding. In the photo of the desk, note the book with the alarm clock on top. Left is a photo of a desk he’s set up near the wall-bed. ![]() Bill has done some work to restore the interior of the bedroom/living room to the sort of appearance it might have had in Hammett’s time. ![]()
