Octavo, 368 pages, cloth; dj nicked, short tears, old cello tape inside at head of spine, NOT price-clipped, Quite Uncommon "This is a sampler done in careful cross-stitch - murder picked out in scarlet thread; death, in black. The marking out of d…ifferences is, in fact, the book's purpose. . The kinds of murder are as varied as the weapons of homicide. Some crime stories are complex intellectual puzzles, and some are fluff. Some are without murder and detective. Others are tales of the supernatural or narratives of real-life villainy." - Introduction. [This anthology unknown to Bruccoli's RAYMOND CHANDLER BIBLIOGRAPHY].
