Description
Quiet mornings in Los Angeles are about to take a deadly turn. Philip Marlowe, a private investigator with a reputation for solving murder cases, is hired by Derace Kingsley to find his missing wife. A note from her suggests she's fled to Mexico to start a new life, but when Marlowe asks Chris Lavery, the man she's married to, about it, he denies everything - until he doesn't. Marlowe's investigation leads him on a perilous journey out of the city and into the wilderness. A trail of clues takes him to a murky mountain lake, where he must confront a killer who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried. With his laconic style and sharp instincts, Marlowe navigates the dark underbelly of Los Angeles, searching for truth in a world where nothing is as it seems. Raymond Chandler's fourth novel featuring Philip Marlowe is a gripping tale of murder, deception, and the darker side of human nature.
