Its loud events filled with kisses and gunshots and the exciting literary style changed the detective novel forever." - Amazon "One of the greatest American novels of the past hundred years." - The Atlantic "It seems that Chandler created the perfect hero: wise, contemplative, thinker, adventurer, emotional, sarcastic, and rebellious." A dying millionaire hires private investigator Philip Marlowe to deal with a blackmailer threatening one of his troublesome daughters. Marlowe finds himself entangled in a complex web of crimes beyond blackmail, including kidnapping, pornography, seduction, and murder. These complications make his mission more dangerous, exploring the blurry boundaries between good and evil.
