My understanding, from a talk given by Hammett's daughter at
a recent Bouchcercon, is that, per an agreement by contending
parties, the estate has been split into two separate
controlling interests.
The novels (with the exception of BLOOD MONEY) are controlled
by the Lillian Hellman estate.
The short stories are controlled by the offspring of Hammett
and their heirs. Under this agreement, the two installments
that make up BLOOD MONEY are regarded as short stories rather
than as two halves of a novel.
Since this agreement, access to the short stories has become
much easier.
