The Simple Art of Murder (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Important read for anyone interested in noir fiction by one of its founding fathers..

A great collection of Chandler's shorter works
The remainder of the book's short stories are typical Chandler - the snappy dialogue, the quick violence and endings in which the law doesn't always win, but in which the bad guy always gets what coming to him.

Short Stories by Raymond Chandler
If you've read one or more of Raymond Chandler's novels, the stories collected under the title The Simple Art of Murder are pretty much what you'd expect, for which I am grateful.
