Review:
"Raymond Chandler is a master." --The New York Times

Parker, The New York Times Book Review "Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye." --Los Angeles Times
"Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner. . . . An original. . . . A great artist." --The Boston Book Review
"Raymond Chandler was one of the finest prose writers of the twentieth century. . . . Age does not wither Chandler's prose. . . . He wrote like an angel." --Literary Review
