The High Window

Crime fiction master Raymond Chandler’s third novel featuring Philip Marlowe, the “quintessential urban private eye” (Los Angeles Times). A wealthy Pasadena widow with a mean streak, a missing daughter-in-law with a past, and a gold coin worth a small fortune – the elements don’t quite add up until Marlowe discovers evidence of murder, rape, blackmail, and the worst kind of human exploitation. “Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude.” (Erle Stanley Gardner). “Raymond Chandler has given us a detective who is hard-boiled enough to be convincing…and that is no mean achievement.” (The New York Times). ©1942 Raymond Chandler (P)2021 Random House Audio
