About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books, 1978. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. 8x5x0. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. edge wear; This is one of three collections extracted from The Simple Art of Murder, published by Houghton Mifflin in 1950. The collection contains four stories, all about fifty pages long. Each is set in Los Angeles, centered on a tough-guy protagonist, and told by a third-person narrator who describes actions rather than thoughts. All first appeared in detective magazines. Philip Marlowe, hero of Chandlerâs novels, is nowhere to be found. In the title story, originally published as âNoon Street Nemesisâ in 1936, undercover narc Pete Anglish accidentally becomes involved in a scheme to extort money from a movie star. âSmart-Aleck Killâ (1934), another tale with a Hollywood angle, tells of P. I. Johnny Dalmasâs attempts to unravel a bogus blackmail plot. In âGuns at Cyranoâsâ (1936) Ted Carmady, once a detective, now a hotel owner, gets into trouble when he discovers a pretty dancer unconscious in the hallway. Gambler Johnny De Rose hopes to avoid a vengeful gangster in âNevada Gasâ (1935) but is dragged into deadly violence anyway.
