'Chandler's books should be read and judged, not as escapist literature, but as works of art' W.H. If Marlowe doesn't wrap this one up fast, he's going to end up either in jail or in a wooden box in the ground. Raymond Chandlers The High Window, his third book featuring world weary detective Philip Marlowe, is introduced to Backlisted by Mojo magazines Andrew Male. That's also unlucky for a private investigator, because leaving a trail of corpses around LA puts cops' noses seriously out of joint. It becomes more complicated when Marlowe finds that everyone who handles the coin suffers a run of very bad luck: they always end up dead. Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe's on a case: his client, a dried-up husk of a woman, wants him to recover a rare gold coin called a Brasher Doubloon, missing from her late husband's collection. A CLASSIC NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF HARD-BOILED CRIME, THE HIGH WINDOW IS RAYMOND CHANDLER'S THIRD STORY FEATURING LACONIC PI PHILIP MARLOWE.
