THE LADY IN THE LAKE BY RAYMOND CHANDLER
He stopped in front of mine and unlocked the door and gave me the hard stare they think they have to wear on their pans forever and forever and forever. I’m a cop, brother, I’m tough, watch your step, brother, or we’ll fix you up so you’ll crawl on your hands and knees, brother, snap out of it, brother, let’s get a load of truth, brother, let’s go, and let’s not forget we’re tough guys, we’re cops, and we do what we like with punks like you.

ReplyDeleteIs this a crime thriller?? I always love an intrigue crime thriller. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes it's a crime thriller. Written in the 1940, it actually kind of considered a classic. Raymond Chandler wrote several books with Philip Marlowe as his main character (a hardboiled detective) and most, if not all of them have been made into movies.
