Hammett keeps his hand in the game.
Offhand, I don’t recall the Continental Op showing up in Jeopardy! clews before now. Usually it’s Sam Spade or Nick and Nora Charles — or Asta. Sometimes Lillian Hellman or Joe McCarthy. San Francisco.
On Friday October 2 —S43 E15 — first round. $1000 clew. Category: Red to be Read.
Picture of Hammett as Ken Jennings does voice-over on the following:
One of the earliest tough guy detectives, the Continental Op shows up in 1929’s Red Harvest by this author
Guy buzzes in: “Who is Dashiell Hammett?”
Yeah, that’d be my guess too.
