Poodle Springs

By Robert B. Parker and Raymond Chandler

Book Overview

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

Great book

Great book, if you have ever been to Palm Springs, you'll relate.

Chandler would be proud.

After years of reading and watching Spenser, I couldn't wait to sink my teeth in Marlowe by Robert Parker. While I was reading it, I was consiously watching for where one left off and the other began. I couldn't tell!! After reading this book, I started reading more Chandler books and still couldn't tell. It is a wonderful story that allows a great authors work to be continued. All I can say is that it is a fantastic read that I have re-read six times. Vive Marlowe
