Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 - March 26, 1959) was an author of crime stories and novels of immense stylistic influence upon modern crime fiction, especially in the style of the writing and the attitudes now characteristic of the genre. His protagonist, Philip Marlowe, is synonymous with "private detective", along with Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade.

my personal favorite is "The Big Sleep" but they're all brilliant.
The film of The Big Sleep (Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall !!) is also excellent.
