Raymond Chandler"s books about Philip Marlow not only laid the foundations of the genre of the “cool” detective, but also became modern classics in the broadest sense. “Raymond Chandler is the original stylist, and his hero Philip Marlow is immortal, like Sherlock Holmes,” wrote the venerable Anthony Burdesses. This publication contains four final (out of seven) novel about the famous private detective - “Blonde in the lake”, “Sister”, “Long Farewell” and “Return”. Marlowe is a new type of detective hero: he is a romantic, a sentimental knight who always retains his personality and observing the code of honor. He is not looking for adventures - they themselves find it, and the plot abounding with proprietary dizzying intricacies begins, as a rule, quite innocently. So, in the “blonde in the lake”, the director of a large perfume company instructs Marlow to find a wife who escaped from a country house, in the “sister” a naive provincial from Manhattan, Kansas, begs a detective to find her brother, who was missing in Los Angeles, gets in “long farewell” Marlou Under a police press, after it does not refuse to help a friend desperately in need, and in the “reverse course” he receives the task to follow a certain Eleanor King, who arrives from Washington to Los Angeles with the Super Foreign Express
