The Simple art of Murder

Meer over het boek

The heroes of this collection of eight detective stories, named after Chandler's famous introductory essay, are various private detectives who share a remarkably unified, typically Chandleresque character: they are protectors of the weak and the attacked, incorruptible and fearless executors of justice, men fighting against corruption in any form, often the last refuge for the lost and persecuted. The stories take readers into various settings in Florida and Hollywood.
