The novel, set in a fictional version of the resort town of Big Bear, California, is the fourth in the Philip Marlowe series and a quintessential example of Chandler’s witty, tough-minded style. ‘A superb tale... It is Chandler's masterpiece and true detection’ (Barzun & Taylor, Catalogue of Crime 483). Bruccoli A4.1.a.
Octavo. Original light green cloth stamped in dark green; original pictorial dust-jacket by Norman Reeves (spine somewhat faded, slight toning at extreme top edge and rear fold of jacket, short neat tear at one fold, small abrasion on spine panel); modern red half morocco box.
