These stories  are where Chandler honed his art and developed his uniquely vivid underworld, peopled  with good cops and bad cops, informers and extortionists, lethally predatory blondes  and redheads, and crime, sex, gambling, and alcohol in abundance. In addition to  his classic hard-boiled stories–in which his signature atmosphere of depravity and  violence swirls around the cool, intuitive loners whose type culminated in the famous  detective Philip Marlowe–Chandler also turned his hand to fantasy and even a gothic  romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rich treasury of\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49525051228503,"sku":"9780375415005","price":32.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780375415005.jpg?v=1731859049","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/collected-stories-of-raymond-chandler-9780375415005","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
