Title: Wealth- Porn-Murder- Missing Persons- Mental Illness
Review: This was my first Raymond Chandler read and I liked it. The plot was based in southern california during the late 1930's. The same time the book was written. A dying, wealthy old general is being blackmailed. He engages the services of private investigator Philip Marlowe to get to the bottom of things. It's a quick moving read of 231 pages. The story stands up well to the test of time having been originally published about seventy years ago. I think most would agree that this is an excellent introduction to the author.
