Killer in the Rain (Penguin Mini Modern Classics) - Raymond Chandler
Early short story but it still has plenty of Chandler magic.

"He had a belted suede raincoat on. He tore it open carelessly and got out a wallet that was not quite as big as a bale of hay. Currency stuck out of it at careless angles. When he slapped it down on his knee it made a fat sound that was pleasant to the ear."
