Meet the author
Raymond Chandler is widely considered one of the founders of the hard-boiled school of detective fiction, fundamentally shaping the genre with his literary style and cynical worldview. A former oil executive who began writing professionally in his mid-forties during the Great Depression, he drew on his disillusionment with American society. This experience infused his iconic private eye, Philip Marlowe, with a world-weary integrity and a poetic, street-smart voice that redefined crime writing and captured the dark soul of Los Angeles.
