Full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. First US edition. Price still on dustjacket. When Raymond Chandler died in 1959, he left behind the first four chapters of a Philip Marlowe thriller. Now, thirty years later, Poodle Springs is published as a full-length work – because of a most unusual, inspired, and wonderfully successful experiment by the man considered the foremost interpreter of the Chandler tradition. Robert B Parker has brought to vivid life the gritty, gripping world of Chandler and his sleuth, Philip Marlowe. Poodle Springs finds Marlowe in as weird a situation as any he’s encountered: marriage. The classic loner had wed a rich heiress from the exclusive southern California desert mecca of Poodle Springs. But living in the lap of luxury hasn’t made a dent in Marlowe’s cynicism – or in his talent for attracting trouble! IN STOCK READY FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
