These three early stories take hairpin bends at the usual Chandler pace. There are corpse in cars, at desks, in morgues, under beds, on beds... Never, by any mistake, flower-beds.
The stories are:
. Pearls are a nuisance
. Finger Man
. The King In Yellow
The volume also contains Chandler's famous little essay on 'Crime' (The Simple Art Of Murder).
Born in Chicago of an American Quaker father and Irish Quaker mother, Raymond Chandler came to England at an early age. He went to Dulwich College and subsequently completed his education in France and Germany. He had been a teacher, book-reviewer, poet, paragraph writer, essayist, soldier in a Canadian infantry regiment, student pilot, accountant, oil executive, and 'pulp writer'. For twenty-five years before his death, he resided in the Southern California area, which formed the background of his books. He died in 1959.
