Dashiell Hammett is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer.

Does he have something to offer that Chandler doesn't?

Yes, but it doesn't feel stilted at all, so pull any film noir imagery out of your head.

Yes.

Red Harvest is probably his best novel, though The Thin Man is close behind.

Hammett was actually a detective for the Pinkerton detective agency, and so had his experiences to draw on. Also, he doesn't try to write detective 'literature' like Chandler does, and purposely remains in the pulp tradition.

I'd claim that Hammett was the best pulp writer... for whatever that's worth.
