Raymond Chandler famously hated science fiction, saying "They pay brisk money for this crap?" However, it has recently come to light that Chandler secretly wrote a series of stories and novels starring a robot detective. He then burnt all the manuscripts and went on writing his noir masterpieces. Unknown to Chandler, his housekeeper had managed to save some of these discarded manuscripts from the grate in his study, preserving the tales for future generations.
The first of these stories was recently unearthed by author Adam Christopher. On the topic of how the manuscript made its way from Chandler's study in California to Christopher's home in England, Christopher is suspiciously quiet.

Brisk Money A TorCom Original Ray Electromatic Mysteries Book 1 edition by Adam Christopher Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
As part of Sci-Fi Month 2016, I'd made plans to read Adam Christopher's Made to Kill, but since this is a short prequel story it made sense to knock this one out of the way first. It's a quick read, roughly 30-odd pages, and provides a nice little introduction for what's ahead as Christopher's series get properly underway. Unfortunately, it's also a bit underwhelming and I'm not quite sure yet just how indispensable a read it may be.What I did like was the small bit of world building that went into this short story. This is LA, circa 1962. Robots are a thing, and most of them have come and gone. Raymond Electromatic is one of the last ones, and he was built to carry a badge. He's a PI, but since he's been built with 60s era technology, his memory capacity is rather limited, which requires him to upload his memories every day to a 100-pound tape reel and scrub blank the tape already in his head while he recharges. And if this sounds somewhat problematic, well, you ain't no dummy then.
There's a minor mystery at work here, some murder, but mostly Brisk Money feels like a warm-up act for Made To Kill. It's a bit thin on story, with the focus primarily on the characters of Ray and his secretary, Ada. The ending provides a nice little twist, and this story ultimately succeeds for me because I'm even more intrigued by these character dynamics and the promise they show as I prepare to dive into the first book of the LA Trilogy next.

Brisk Money A TorCom Original Ray Electromatic Mysteries Book 1 edition by Adam Christopher Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
This is a well-written twist on the standard androids in the human world. The suspense built well and I was waiting for the expected ending that never came. Character development was good, but something didn't grab me completely.
If you read Made to Kill, you already know the basics expanded upon in this prequel short story, and you might think it not worth the trouble to bother reading it,...
but you’d be wrong. This isn’t a later piece written to cash in on success; this is the first story ever written, the one one that proved Adam Christopher could do what he said he could do, the one that sold the series. From a different, significantly darker perspective we see the major events of Ray Electromatic’s transformation (reprogramming) from the last robot detective ever into the last robot assassin ever, having started out as the last robot ever in 1960’s LA.
Definitely worth reading, before “Made to Kill” and the rest of the series Standard Hollywood Depravity,Killing Is My Business, and I Only Killed Him Once.
Note If you like the premise of noirish robot detectives, I can also recommend A. Lee Martinez’s The Automatic Detective.
An interesting sci-fi, hard boiled detective short story. I'm looking forward to reading the follow up novel "Made to Kill".
A great introduction to Adam Christopher's series!
Short and sweet. The way pulp should be.
Neat blend of old time detective fiction and Sci Fi, but with a non-surprise ending. You could see it coming from a mile, but it was still an enjoyable read for those of us who like Hammett and Spillane.
I was swept up in the noire feeling and the constant memory hiccups of the protagonist. His struggle to do the right thing against the real force pushing him otherwise made it believable and kept me swiping left.
