I'm not sure where you can get it, and as far as short stories go, while it was enjoyable, I wouldn't consider it a great work. It was more or less an detective novel length story shrunk down to 12 pages. What you should get is Hammett's The Maltese Falcon. It's a great novel with outstanding writing. You've probably seen the movie. The movie pretty much follows the book. But it's a better read than the movie, which was a good movie in its own right. Any public library should have The Maltese Falcon. I've read that novel a few times now. I think I read one other of Hammett's novels when I was young, but I have no memory of it now. His novels have a reputation of being among the best in that genre. I would say The Maltese Falcon transcends the genre in that the character of Sam Spade develops a philosophy of dealing with a chaotic modern world.
