The very best in hardboiled fiction, from such
masters as Ross Macdonald, Raymond Chandler, Marcia Muller, Michael Collins, Ed

detective fiction of the 1920s but traceable back as far as Sherlock Holmes,
the private eye story remains as popular as ever.
Here are 24 of the finest
short novels and stories from the hardboiled world of the private eye. The
characters in this collection range from the tough, cynical, hard-drinking
Philip Marlowe type to hard-hitting female private eyes and the one-armed
intellectual Dan Fortune – from masters of the genre past and present.
