A Painful Death at Peaceful Acres
Just finished reading a Raymond Chandler novel, then stumbled across a news story about a fatal fire that reads as hard boiled as any of Chandler's prose.
"Jameson's body was found, one arm outstretched, just inside the door of his trailer in Peaceful Acres Mobile Home Park.
"On the ground near his body was a litter of empty crushed and blackened beer cans.
" 'He fell asleep on the sofa and woke up a little too late," Whitten said."
For the record, Bill Jameson's final word appears to have been goddamn. Which seems remarkably restrained under the circumstances. So much for Peaceful Acres.
