Raymond Chandler's famous detective Philip Marlowe moves through a timeless never-never land of eccentric, dangerous, evil people. Petty crimes, sexually obsessed women, dishonest policemen.

Riding like a knight in dull armour through this mosaic, Marlowe is the tireless but weary professional working for too little against too much.

One of fictions most popular heroes for over thirty years, Philip Marlowe never had a tougher time, a rougher ride, a greater challenge, than in THE BIG SLEEP.
