Synopsis

Book by Chandler Raymond

Présentation de l'éditeur

Authorised by the estate of the late Raymond Chandler, this volume reveals the missing life history and detective adventures of Philip Marlowe, one of the 20th Century's most enduring and beloved characters. Marlowe is the quintessential hard-boiled detective: cynical yet idealistic; romantic yet full of despair; a gentleman capable of rough violence.
The stories, each written by some of the detective-mystery genre's leading lights, run chronologically through the career of Marlowe, from 1935 to 1960. These are classic Marlowe tales of betrayal, mistrust, and double-dealing on the seamy side of Los Angeles.
