Blurb : Raymond Chandler created the fast talking trouble seeking Californian private eye Philip Marlowe for his first great novel The Big Sleep, in 1939. Marlowe’s entanglement with the Sternwood family – and an attendant cast of colourful underworld figures – is the background to a story reflecting all the tarnished glitter of the great American Dream.
