Synopsis
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 MOUNTAIN
It was in the pulp detective magazines of the 1930s that Raymond Chandler's definitive take on the hard-boiled detective story first appeared. Here then, from the pages of the Black Mask and Dime Detective Magazine, are eight of his finest stories. Sharper than a hoodlum's switchblade, more exciting than an unexpected red-head and stronger than a double shot of whiskey, they are packed full of the punchy poetry and laconic wit that makes Chandler the undisputed master of his genre.
Also published in Penguin are the complete Phillip Marlowe novels; often imitated but never bettered, Raymond Chandler's creation became the most famous fictional detective since Sherlock Holmes. Read them now in Penguin paperback.
