From the creased pages of 1930s pulp magazines Black Mask and Dime
Detective come eight of Raymond Chandler's finest short stories:
KILLER IN THE RAIN, THE MAN WHO LIKED DOGS, THE CURTAIN, TRY THE
GIRL, MANDARIN'S JADE, BAY CITY BLUES, THE LADY IN THE LAKE and NO
CRIME IN THE MOUNTAINS Set against a Southern Californian backdrop,
the stories are rich with suspense, violence and tragedy, and each
comes laced with booze, bullets and a detective with an eye for a
damsel in distress and an even keener eye for justice . . . Readers
will also recognize episodes, characters and flashbacks from the
Marlowe novels that made Chandler the undisputed master of his
genre. 'Anything he writes about grips the mind from the first
sentence. It is a spare, finished performance: full of life and
character: as tense as a tiger, springing into action' Daily
Telegraph 'One of the greatest crime writers, who set standards
others still try to attain' Sunday Times 'Chandler is an original
stylist, creator of a character as immortal as Sherlock Holmes'
Anthony Burgess
