chandler

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crime writer's' is the definition.
'chandler' can be an answer for 'writer's' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'crime' bit.

'chapter right after name' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c'.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'name' becomes 'handle' ().
'r' put after 'handle' is 'handler'.
'c'+'handler'='CHANDLER'

Can you help me to learn more?
