Raymond Chandler was a pioneer of what came to be known as
hard-boiled mystery-detective fiction. His Philip Marlowe is
America's tough, realistic equivalent to Victorian England's more
refined Sherlock Holmes. This reference work includes hundreds of
alphabetically arranged entries for Chandler's individual novels
and short stories, his characters, family members, and professional
acquaintances. Entries for fiction provide plot synopses,
identification of characters, and brief critical commentaries.
Longer entries cite numerous critical works for further reading.
