Description

The four novellas collected here are quintessential Raymond Chandler- slick, crystal-clear writing that pins the reader to the seat and won't let go until the last page is turned. In the first of the four cases in Trouble is My Business, LA PI Philip Marlowe is offered a job that leaves a bad taste in the mouth- smearing a girl who's 'got her hooks into a rich man's pup'. Before too long Marlowe's up to his neck in corpses and cops and he's taken pity on the girl. There's nothing like making trouble of your business . . . The four novellas collected here are quintessential Raymond Chandler- slick, crystal-clear writing that pins the reader to the seat and won't let go until the last page is turned.
