«La rubia de ojos negros» is the crime novel by Benjamin Black, published by Alfaguara in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
It is the early 1950s. Philip Marlowe, a private detective, receives a visit from Clare Cavendish, a young and wealthy heiress who asks him to find her former lover, Nico Peterson. What seems like a simple job drags Marlowe through Bay City, where Peterson's disappearance becomes entangled with the secrets of one of the most powerful families in town.
Benjamin Black, pseudonym of John Banville, wrote the novel at the request of Raymond Chandler's heirs. The original title is The Black-Eyed Blonde and the Spanish translation is by Nuria Barrios.
For crime fiction readers, fans of Raymond Chandler, and those who want to discover a new Philip Marlowe adventure.
William John Banville is an Irish novelist, adapter of dramas, and screenwriter. A former member of Aosdána, he voluntarily relinquished the financial stipend in 2001 to another, more impoverished, writer.
