DASHIELL HAMMETT:

This is Hammett's output, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. At the very end of the bibliography (nos. 16-28) is a short story that has never appeared in a collection. Unfortunately, I don't have the publishing year for the last four stories.
