About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton, [1964]., 1964. First edition. First edition. The U. K. edition precedes the U. S. edition. Fine, bright copy in dust jacket lightly soiled on the rear panel and with a tiny closed tear along the top edge of the rear cover. Contains 8 stories. In his early works, Killer in the Rain and The Curtain, Chandler laid the groundwork for his signature character, Philip Marlowe. The hero of such novels as The Big Sleep and Farewell, My Lovely takes center stage in the gripping stories in this series.
Synopsis
"Killer in the Rain" refers to a collection of short stories, including the eponymous title story, written by hard-boiled detective fiction author Raymond Chandler. The collection features eight short stories originally published in pulp magazines between 1935 and 1941. At Chandler's request, the stories remained uncollected during his lifetime and, save for three which were reprinted without his express permission, were not republished until 1964.
