The High Window

`He lay crumpled on his back. Very lonely, very dead.The safe door was wide open. A metal drawer was pulled out. It was empty now. There may have been money in it once.` Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe`s on a case: his client, a dried-up husk of a woman, wants him to recover a rare gold coin called a Brasher Doubloon, missing from her late husband`s collection. That`s the simple part. It becomes more complicated when Marlowe finds that everyone who handles the coin suffers a run of very bad luck: they always end up dead. That`s also unlucky for a private investigator, because leaving a trail of corpses around LA puts cops` noses seriously out of joint. If Marlowe doesn`t wrap this one up fast, he`s going to end up either in jail or in a wooden box in the ground . . .The High Window is Raymond Chandler`s third novel featuring laconic PI Philip Marlowe.`Chandler`s books should be read and judged, not as escapist literature, but as works of art` W.H. Auden`Chandler grips the mind from the first sentence` Daily Telegraph `One of the greatest crime writers, who set standards others still try to attain` Sunday Times`Chandler is an original stylist, creator of a character as immortal as Sherlock Holmes` Anthony Burgess
