As hard boiled as they come, this book introduces Philip Marlowe, Private Investigator. He has a code, he is smart, he isn't easily dissuaded and he can take a punch. This is one of the classics and a total pleasure to read. Marlowe gets involved in a case with a lot of sex, porn, blackmail and gambling. Sometimes it is difficult for the reader to see what is going on but Marlowe always seems to know. A fast-paced classic and an example of what mystery writing is all about.
