Considered by some critics as Raymond Chandler's best novel, 'Farewell, My Lovely' is a fascinating investigation into corruption. Philip Marlowe, the protagonist detective, is tasked with finding the girlfriend of a thug recently released from prison, which seems like a routine case. However, things get complicated when a young woman marries an elderly millionaire, triggering a two-sided game in the underworld of Los Angeles, where Marlowe must face violent deaths and corrupt police officers.
Raymond Thornton Chandler was an American-British novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published seven novels during his lifetime. All but Playback have been made into motion pictures, some more than once.
