THE BIG SLEEP（钱德勒著作《长眠不醒》）（ISBN=9780394758282）

　　When a dying millionaire hires Philip Marlowe to handle the blackmailer of one of his two troublesome daughters, Marlowe finds himself involved with more than extortion. Kidnapping, pornography, seduction, and murder are just a few of the complications he gets caught up in. "Chandler writes like a slumming angel and invest s the sun-blinded streets of Los Angelos with a romantic presence."--Ross Macdonald

　　Best-known as the creator of the original private eye, Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago in 1888 and died in 1959. Many of his books have been adapted for the screen, and he is widely regarded as one of the very greatest writers of detective fiction.
