These are eight stories written by Chandler which he never wanted published as he "cannibalized" them to use in his novels. My favorite was "A Lady in the Lake," while I liked "Mandarin's Jade" the least. And I found the ending of "No Crime in the Mountains" a bit hard to accept.

If you liked his novels, you'll enjoy these stories.

Narrated by Elliott Gould. Killer in the Rain helped lay the groundwork for the creation of the Philip Marlowe characters in Chandler's groundbreaking detective books.
