"Brisk Money" by Adam Christopher

Thanks to my friend Paul Stephens at Tor, I recently read a great little short story by Adam Christopher, the basic idea of which is that Raymond Chandler wrote a series of noir sci-fi detective stories that were supposed to have been destroyed after his death.  Christopher has "found" these lost stories and is bringing them to us.

This one is called "Brisk Money," and the narrator in this one is a private eye, who also happens to be a robot.

The style is spot on, and it is an excellent read.  You can check it out here.

I also love this terrific illustration by Gerard Dubois that accompanies the story.
