There's something about him in "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers" (at least in some edition, I believe I've been using the third), but I just now can't remember what exactly.

I have one book by him, "Contraband", the Signet Book edition from 1951. I haven't read it yet, though. I believe Cleve Adams has been said to have been a friend of Chandler. Did he talk that Gestapo jazz with our nice Ray? (Well, we mustn't confuse the writings and the man!)
