Meet the author
Raymond Chandler is widely regarded as the master of American hardboiled detective fiction, a founder of the genre whose work profoundly influenced literature and film. Originally an oil company executive, Chandler turned to writing during the Great Depression, channeling his sharp, cynical worldview into the creation of the iconic private eye, Philip Marlowe. His distinctive, literary prose and unflinching look at the corruption beneath the sunny veneer of Southern California established a new, uniquely American voice that continues to inspire writers today.
