Finding Trouble Is My Profession

Raymond Chandler is good at creating cold, hard and dark story atmospheres. His short stories are thrilling at every step. Lonely and dangerous souls are found in every corner of the metropolis. Celebrities, prostitutes, gangsters, businessmen, private detectives, police... All fight openly and secretly for their own purposes. The protagonist is entangled in a conspiracy. With his sophisticated skills and shrewdness, he can see through each sinister plot and uncover the shocking inside story hidden in the darkness. This series collects all 25 short stories written by Chandler throughout his life. These works are an integral part of his hard-core detective aesthetic. Compared with the novels for which he is famous, these stories are more violent, with dramatic plot twists that catch people off guard, and endings that are unexpected and thought-provoking. At the same time, Chandler's short stories are also the source of some ideas for the novel. By writing these thrilling short stories, Chandler gradually explored and shaped a textbook-style tough guy world, and became a master in the eyes of famous writers in later generations. This book is the second volume of the complete collection of novels, and includes titles such as "Making Trouble Is My Profession", "Dog Madness", "Pickup on the Noon Street", "The King of Yellow Pants", "Peace in the Mountain", "Red Wind", "Professor Bingle's Snuff" and "The Bronze Door".
