Whoever floats your boat. I always thought that the archetypal Hammet
hero was the Continental Op. Nick, Charles, Sam Spade only appeared in a
few stories while the Op was all over the place. I really have a thing
for old detective fiction of that class. Chandler, Hammet, Sayers (I've
already mentioned). More modern stuff I like is Sarah Paretsky (VI.
Warshawsky), Lyndsay Davies (Falco).
