Sinopsis

Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe returns in award-winning author John Banville’s Marlowe?originally published as The Black-Eyed Blonde under the pen name Benjamin Black?the basis for the major motion picture starring Liam Neeson as the iconic detective.

The streets of Bay City, California, in the early 1950s are as mean as they get. Marlowe is as restless and lonely as ever, and the private eye business is a little slow. Then a new client is shown in: blond, beautiful, and expensively dressed, she wants Marlowe to find her former lover.

Almost immediately, Marlowe discovers that the man's disappearance is merely the first in a series of bewildering events. Soon he is tangling with one of Bay City's richest and most ruthless families?and developing a singular appreciation for how far they will go to protect their fortune.
