HTML:<p><b>"Boutsikaris does a standout job. . . . Thug or cop, heiress or moll, he gives them all distinct voices that fit well with the book's Chandleresque prose and dialogue." —<i>Publishers Weekly<br /></i><br /> "Dennis Boutsikaris narrates with marvelous aplomb. He nails the cool but inviting tone, the clipped tempo, the razor and the velvet of such a tale. . . . This is a perfect weekend listen." —<i>AudioFile</i><br /> Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe returns in award-winning author John Banville's <i>Marlowe</i>—originally published as <i>The Black-Eyed Blonde</i></b> <b>under the pen name</b> <b>Benjamin Black—the basis for the major motion picture starring Liam Neeson as the iconic detective.</b><br /> <b>"Somewhere Raymond Chandler is smiling . . . I loved this book. It was like having an old friend, one you assumed was dead, walk into the room."</b><br /> <b>—Stephen King<br /></b><br /> "<i>It was one of those Tuesday afternoons in</i> <i>summer</i> <i>when you wonder if the earth has stopped revolving.</i>"<br /> The streets of Bay City, California, in the early 1950s are as mean as they get. Marlowe is as restless and lonely as ever, and the private eye business is a little slow. Then a new client is shown in: blond, beautiful, and expensively dressed, she wants Marlowe to find her former lover.<br /> Almost immediately, Marlowe discovers that the man's disappearance is merely the first in a series of bewildering events. Soon he is tangling with one of Bay City's richest and most ruthless families—and developing a singular appreciation for how far they will go to protect their fortune.<br /> <b>"It's vintage L.A., toots: The hot summer, rain on the asphalt, the woman with the lipstick, cigarette ash and alienation, V8 coupes, tough guys, snub-nosed pistols, the ice melting in the bourbon . . . . The results are Chandleresque, sure, but you can see Banville's sense of fun."<br /> —<i>The Washington Post<br /></i></b><b>A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.</b></p>.
