Sounds like you're describing RAYMOND CHANDLER'S LOS ANGELES
(Elizabeth Ward and Alain Silver, The Overlook Press 1987).
There's swatches of text excerpted from Chandler's stories,
faced with contemporary shots of LA and environs, looking
very, well, Chanderlesque. Informative editorial additions
complete a handy aide to exploring the man's output as well
as the area that he painted such an incadescent portrait
of.
