Chandler’s fifth novel has Philip Marlowe going to and gets involved on the interlocking levels of Hollywood society
Her name is Orfamay Quest and she’s come all the way from Manhattan, Kansas, to find her missing brother Orrin. Or leastways that’s what she tells PI Philip Marlowe, offering him a measly 20 bucks for the privilege.
But Marlowe’s feeling charitable – though it’s not long before he wishes he wasn’t so sweet. You see, Orrin’s trail leads Marlowe to luscious movie starlets, uppity gangsters, suspicious cops, and corpses with ice picks jammed in their necks. When trouble comes calling, sometimes it’s best to pretend to be out…
Even the reviewer’s summary is in Chandler’s style! It has just the right edge. This is one of his most cynical novels in which Marlowe looks at LA as he had known it and what it had become.
A thanks to the original uploader who put it in chapters. My tags
FYI – The James Garner movie Marlow (1969) used this book for it’s plot.
