Summary, etc 'I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.'<br/><br/>Los Angeles Private Investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by wheelchair-bound General Sternwood to discover who is blackmailing him. A broken, weary old man, Sternwood just wants Marlowe to make the problem go away. However, with Sternwood's two wild, devil-may-care daughters prowling LA's seedy backstreets, Marlowe's got his work cut out. And that's before he stumbles over the first corpse.<br/><br/>The Big Sleep is Raymond Chandler's first novel featuring laconic PI Philip Marlowe.<br/><br/>'One of the greatest crime writers, who set standards others still try to attain' Sunday Times<br/><br/>'Chandler grips the mind from the first sentence' Daily Telegraph<br/><br/>'One of the greatest crime writers, who set standards others still try to attain' Sunday Times<br/><br/>'Chandler is an original stylist, creator of a character as immortal as Sherlock Holmes' Anthony Burgess<br/>
