When Raymond Chandler died in 1959, he left behind the first four chapters of a new Philip Marlowe thriller. Now three decades later, Robert B. Parker, the bestselling creator of the Spenser detective novels, has completed Poodle Springs in a full-length masterpiece of criminal passion. "More than just an impressive homage, this is a first-rate detective novel with all of the suspense, action, and human drama that we have come to expect from the best."--Playboy Philip Marlowe is alive and well and living in Poodle Springs, California. He's married to a wealthy heiress now. But living in the lap of luxury hasn't made a dent in Marlowe's cynicism--or his talent for attracting trouble. Soon he's on a trail of greed, lust, and murder as dark and cunning as any he's ever seen. Philip Marlowe is back in business. "Raymond Chandler fans, throw away your dog-eared copies of The Big Sleep...Philip Marlowe has returned!"--Milwaukee Journal

Worthy Homage To The Master
Robert B. Parker spins a truely remarkable tale from the threads left by Raymond Chandler. He captures the spirit of Marlowe and the noirish mood that Chandler painted oh so well. A careful reader will see that Parker lovingly recalls earlier novels as he takes his detective through that most dangerous of adventures.... marriage.

Great unfinished work now finished
Superb "collaboration" between Chandler and Parker. Seamless story line with typical style of both writers. Highly recommend
