The Simple Art of Murder
by Raymond Chandler
Pre-edited by the famous Atlantic Monthly article of the same name, in which he discusses the virtues of a coolly brewed detective novel, this collection showcases Chandler's figurative, playful object in form, often taken from stories he wrote for pulp. It includes the following short stories: - Spanish blood - I'll Wait - Yellow King - Pearls - Trouble - Pickup on the street at noon - Smart Alec Kill - Guns in Cyrano - Nevada Gas.
