Blackmailers Don't Shoot
Raymond Chandler
Your price US$59.95
13 stories. Bound in cloth. 528 pages with 15 full page illustrations by Geoff Grandfield. 10" x 6".
These 13 short stories span the full range of Chandler’s career, from ‘Blackmailers Don’t Shoot’ first published in 1933 to ‘English Summer’, a black and yet oddly tender story of adultery, cruelty and murder published posthumously in 1976. Despite his ‘noir’ reputation, this collection perfectly demonstrates Chandler’s versatility as a writer, with unashamedly funny stories like ‘Pearls are a Nuisance’ or the invisible-man fantasy of ‘Professor Bingo’s Snuff’.
