โ Scribed by Chandler, Raymond
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A wealthy Pasadena widow with a mean streak, a missing daughter-in-law with a past, and a gold coin worth a small fortune'the elements don't quite add up until Marlowe discovers evidence of murder, rape, blackmail, and the worst kind of human exploitation. "Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude."--Erle Stanley Gardner "Raymond Chandler has given us a detective who is hard-boiled enough to be convincing ... and that is no mean achievement."--The New York Times From the Trade Paperback edition.
