Hard-boiled detectives stories from one of the masters of the genre. A set of Phillip Marlowe short stories with the crisp, witty diction one expects from Chandler, as well as the rather cynical view of Los Angeles in the 30s and 40s. Smart, edgy, and surprising. A good place to start if you've never read one of the novels.
