The Big Sleep – Phillip Marlowe (Paperback) Raymond Chandler (author), Ian Rankin (author of introduction)
£3.00
‘I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn’t care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.’
Los Angeles Private Investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by wheelchair-bound General Sternwood to discover who is blackmailing him. A broken, weary old man, Sternwood just wants Marlowe to make the problem go away. However, with Sternwood’s two wild, devil-may-care daughters prowling LA’s seedy backstreets, Marlowe’s got his work cut out. And that’s before he stumbles over the first corpse.
The Big Sleep is Raymond Chandler’s first novel featuring laconic PI Philip Marlowe.
