内容简介
In the four long stories in this collection, Marlowe is hired
to protect a rich old guy from a gold digger, runs afoul of crooked
politicos, gets a line on some stolen jewels with a reward
attached, and stumbles across a murder victim who may have been an
extortionist.
作者简介
Raymond Chandler was born in 1888 and published his first
story in 1933 in the pulp magazine Black Mask. By the time
he published his first novel, The Big Sleep (1939),
featuring, as did all his major works, the iconic private eye
Philip Marlowe, it was clear that he had not only mastered a genre
but had set a standard wo which others could only aspire. Chandler
created a body of work that ranks with the best of
twentieth-century literature. He died in 1959.
