May 2012. A Dashiell Hammett Tour each and every Sunday this month. $10. Four hours, beginning at noon.
No reservations taken. Just show up.
And if you just can’t make it in May, on Sunday June 17 you’ll find a walk requested by a guy flying in from Australia, open to anyone who shows up. Noon. $10. Four hours. The usual.
In 1977 Don Herron began leading The Dashiell Hammett Tour, now the longest-running literary tour in the nation. On this site you’ll find information on current walks — dates, where to meet, arranging tours by appointment — plus a hard-boiled blog with news, reviews of books and film, and a dash of noir.
The latest and greatest edition to self-guide you up and down the mean streets.
