| Synopsis Chandler's most famous protagonist, private detective Philip Marlowe, appears in this first novel. Drawn from Arthurian legend, Marlowe is a modern knight, dedicated to causes greater than himself and to restoring order in the world. His first priority is always his client. He is also wary of the authorities, although Chandler takes a more benevolent view of the police than do other writers of the noir genre. In this novel, Marlowe must discover what has happened to Rusty Regan, the beloved son-in-law of Marlowe's client General Sternwood. This book was originally published in 1939.
Publisher's Note When a case of blackmail involving a California millionaire leads to murder, the inimitable Philip Marlowe is stirred into action. Read by Elliot Gould. | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||||||
