| The hard-boiled world of Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler's iconic private eye, comes to vivid life in this brilliant graphic novel adaptation of the classic noir tale. In 1940s Los Angeles, a sour-faced millionaire hires Philip Marlowe, a hard-boiled, harder-drinking detective, to scare off a suspected gold digger who has got her claws into his even wealthier stepson. Marlowe takes the case but quickly discovers that Harriett Huntress isn't just after gold: she's playing a long, cold game of revenge? Marlowe forms an alliance with George, the client's chauffeur-cum-bodyguard-cum-fixer. George is a black, Dartmouth educated veteran with a sniper's skills and his own agenda, and the two uneasy allies find themselves on the wrong end of a brace of hired killers and an enigmatic casino boss... It rapidly becomes clear that Marlowe, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, is just asking for trouble. But that's the thing. Trouble is his business. |
