✦ Synopsis

Roman inachevé, Tulip passe presque inaperçu lors de sa publication en 1966 et demeure méconnu. Ultime fiction de l'auteur du Faucon maltais, le texte, rédigé après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, alors que Hammett n’écrit plus depuis des années, exerce pourtant une force de fascination singulière. Peut-être parce que le roman succède à ce silence ; aussi, sans doute, parce qu’il esquisse un virage dans l’œuvre du "dur à cuire", qui s’éloigne de son genre de prédilection : le roman noir.
