Considered by some critics as Raymond Chandler's best novel, 'Farewell, My Lovely' is a profound investigation into corruption. Philip Marlowe becomes involved in the search for Velma, the little protégé of Moose Malloy, a giant recently released from prison. This search triggers a series of sinister events that unmask the mechanisms of power in a city where the laws favor those who can pay.
Raymond Thornton Chandler was an American-British novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published seven novels during his lifetime. All but Playback have been made into motion pictures, some more than once.
