Philip Marlowe, the original hard-boiled private eye, returns to walk the mean streets of the American underworld again in these three classic novels. In The Lady in the Lake a business tycoon sets Marlowe on the hunt for some very important lost property - a flighty young wife, who proves murder to find. A wealthy widow sends the wisecracking detective on another trail in The High Window, this time to find a jinxed gold doubloon. The Little Sister is Chandler's late, great story of a seemingly prim young woman who proves that trouble can come in the most innocent of guises, and who has Marlowe hooked on one of his most beguiling cases.

Industry Reviews

Philip Marlowe, California private eye, in another bruiser of a tale when he is hired to find a missing wife, turns up a corpse in a lake, and comes up against a doctor who medicates with narcotics, a ??tomcat, and ladies with miscellaneous entanglements. Two additional murders and mayhem for Marlow at the hands of the local police keep it going fast and rough. Good. (Kirkus Reviews)
