Marlowe's not sure he cares about either one,   but he's not paid to care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eRAYMOND THORNTON CHANDLER (1888 - 1959) was the master practitioner of American hard-boiled   crime fiction. Although he was born in Chicago, Chandler spent most of his boyhood   and youth in England where he attended Dulwich College and later worked as a freelance   journalist for \u003ci\u003eThe Westminster Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Spectator\u003c\/i\u003e. During World War I, Chandler   served in France with the First Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, transferring   later to the Royal Flying Corps (R. A. F.). In 1919 he returned to the United States,   settling in California, where he eventually became director of a number of independent   oil companies. The Depression put an end to his career, and in 1933, at the age of   forty-five, he turned to writing fiction, publishing his first stories in \u003ci\u003eBlack Mask\u003c\/i\u003e.   Chandler’s detective stories often starred the brash but honorable Philip Marlowe   (introduced in 1939 in his first novel,\u003cb\u003e The Big Sleep\u003c\/b\u003e) and were noted for their literate   presentation and dead-on critical eye. Never a prolific writer, Chandler published   only one collection of stories and seven novels in his lifetime. Some of Chandler’s   novels, like \u003cb\u003eThe Big Sleep\u003c\/b\u003e, were made into classic movies which helped define the   film noir style. In the last year of his life he was elected president of the Mystery   Writers of America. He died in La Jolla, California on March 26, 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45368747425953,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780394758251","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780394758251.jpg?v=1763134332","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-lady-in-the-lake-paperback-by-raymond-chandler","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
