I haven't read Who Killed Bob Teal?, but I have read several other Hammett short stories and novellas (Red Harvest, Dane Curse, The Glass Key, etc.). I have to say that they are all a pale shadow of The Maltese Falcon. I'm wondering if his entire reputation is based on that single success. I've not read anything by him that is nearly as good - with the possible exception of The Thin Man.
But I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise. Based on your recommendation, GA, I'll give Teal a try.
