mass market paperback
Am 1971 von Ballantine veröffentlicht.
This is one of Chandler’s most famous crime novels featuring the detective Philip Marlowe, who’s about to give up on a completely routine case when he finds himself in the wrong place at the right time to get caught up in a murder that leads to a ring of jewel thieves, another murder, a fortune-teller, a couple more murders, and more corruption than your average graveyard.
Großes dunkles Krimikino, gekonnt platziert in einem düsteren Kalifornien der 1940er Jahre, das mich in mehrfacher Weise positiv überrascht hat.
