Trouble Is My Business by Raymond Chandler is $2 at
Amazon,
B&N and
Kobo US.
This is the last of the Vintage/Black Lizard Raymond Chandler books I have to read. A collection of Philip Marlowe long shorts rather than a novel.
There's a bunch of sketchy Chandler out there (in the US at least, he is still in copyright). The Vintage/Black Lizard books are legit (though I think the new covers are horrible).
Quote:
This collection by crime fiction master Raymond Chandler features four long stories in which private eye Philip Marlowe is hired to protect a rich old guy from a gold digger, runs afoul of crooked politicos, gets a line on some stolen jewels with a reward attached, and stumbles across a murder victim who may have been an extortionist.
