Hes married to a wealthy heiress now. But living in the lap of luxury hasnt made a dent in Marlowes cynicism--or his talent for attracting trouble. Soon hes on a trail of greed, lust, and murder as dark and cunning as any hes ever seen. Philip Marlowe is back in business. "Raymond Chandler fans, throw away your dog-eared copies of The Big Sleep...Philip Marlowe has returned!"--Milwaukee Journal
