Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe - Byron Preiss - Paperback

Authorized by the estate of the late Raymond Chandler, this volume reveals the missing life history and detective adventures of Philip Marlowe, one of the 20th century's most enduring and beloved characters. Marlowe is the quintessential American detective: cynical yet idealistic; romantic yet full of despair; a gentleman capable of rough violence. The final story in the volume is Raymond Chandler's last Marlowe adventure: The Pencil. The stories run chronologically through the career of Marlowe, from 1935 through 1960. These are classic Marlowe tales of betrayal, mistrust, and double-dealing on the seamy side of Los Angeles.Preiss, Byron is the author of 'Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe - Byron Preiss - Paperback' with ISBN 9780399516160 and ISBN 0399516166.
