EXTRA! EXTRA!
October 24th, 1958
Raymond Chandler begins work
on his final novel, Poodle Springs.
Spoiler Alert: Someone dies.
Unexpected Twist: It’s the author.
Poodle Springs was finished by a pen-
for-hire, Robert B. Parker (known
for the protagonist of his detective
series, Spenser, who was apparently
also for-hire—and possibly even
more appealing for the fact that he
frequently quoted poetry).
Scholars are still investigating the
pressing question of ‘How did Ray-
mond Chandler like his eggs?’
