About this book

A book, The Big Sleep of Raymond Chandler is a great specimen of the noir detective novel that introduces the protagonist, Philip Marlowe. Arriving in 1930s Southern California hired to investigate an extortion scandal for a wealthy family of oil-producer origins, Marlowe finds himself enmeshed into a rat’s nest of treachery, criminality, and multiple murder. Riveting characters and gripping narrative, they encapsulate the book as a crime drama of moral turpitude in a quippy prose.

Chandler was forty-four and unemployed when he started writing fiction. He had been an executive at a California oil syndicate and lost the job over drinking, absenteeism and an affair, then taught himself the pulp form by taking apart stories in Black Mask magazine.
