Caveat emptor. This was published shortly before Chandler's death.

I assume he just accepted payment to allow his name to be used. There is no way that Chandler wrote this. Not only is the style different and mediocre, but Marlowe jumps into bed with a woman at the very beginning. No way Chandler would have written that.

Maybe someone here knows the details of how this got to be published under Chandler's name.
