When Raymond Chandler passed away in 1959, he left written the first chapters of what would be the last story of Philip Marlowe. Thirty years later, the book was finished by Robert B. Parker, considered his best heir. In this novel, Marlowe has married a rich heiress and lives in the elegant Poodle Springs, but luxury does not diminish his cynicism or his vocation for problems. He soon discovers the dark side of the city, where greed, lust, and despair lead men and women to live secret lives and even murder. A mystery and crime story in which Chandler seems to have created a definitive American hero: quick-witted, hopeful, attentive, adventurous, sentimental, cynical, and rebellious.
Raymond Thornton Chandler was an American-British novelist and screenwriter.
