The hard-boiled world of Philip Marlowe- Raymond Chandler's iconic private eye- comes to vivid life in this brilliant graphic novel adaptation of the classic noir tale. In 1940s Los Angeles- a sour-faced millionaire hires Philip Marlowe- a hard-boiled- harder-drinking detective- to scare off a suspected gold digger who has got her claws into his even wealthier stepson. Marlowe takes the case but quickly discovers that Harriett Huntress isn't just after gold: she's playing a long- cold game of revenge… Marlowe forms an alliance with George- the client's chauffeur-cum-bodyguard-cum-fixer. George is a black- Dartmouth educated veteran with a sniper's skills and his own agenda- and the two uneasy allies find themselves on the wrong end of a brace of hired killers and an enigmatic casino boss... It rapidly becomes clear that Marlowe- sticking his nose where it doesn't belong- is just asking for trouble. But that's the thing. Trouble is his business.
