Trouble Is My Business is a classic collection of hardboiled detective stories featuring Raymond Chandler's iconic private investigator, Philip Marlowe. First published in 1950, this collection showcases Chandler's sharp, atmospheric writing and his talent for crafting intricate, noir-style mysteries set in the gritty underworld of Los Angeles. In these stories, Marlowe navigates a world of corruption, crime, and deceit, taking on cases that lead him into dangerous territory. The title story, Trouble Is My Business, along with other tales like Finger Man and Red Wind, highlight Marlowe's wit, tenacity, and unflinching moral code as he faces off against ruthless criminals, femme fatales, and shady clients. With its vivid characters, fast-paced plots, and Chandler's signature style of hard-edged dialogue, Trouble Is My Business is a perfect introduction to Marlowe's world and the dark, cynical atmosphere of American noir fiction. It's a must-read for fans of detective fiction and one of the finest examples of the genre.
