Description: From the streets of Chicago to the classrooms of Dulwich College, from the oil fields of California to the smoky rooms of Black Mask magazine, this biography traces the improbable journey of the man who transformed American crime fiction. Follow Raymond Chandler through his restless early wanderings, his mid-life reinvention as a pulp writer, and his creation of Philip Marlowe—the weary, incorruptible detective who would define a genre. Along the way, explore his turbulent Hollywood years, his complicated marriage, and the personal struggles that shadowed his literary triumphs. A compelling portrait of a late bloomer whose singular voice still echoes through every rain-slicked street in modern noir.
