Más información sobre el libro
Marlowe is back - in a classic thriller no Chandler aficionado will be able to resist... When Raymond Chandler died in 1959, he left behind an unfinished Philip Marlowe novel. Now, thirty years later, POODLE SPRINGS has become a complete work, thanks to the inspired writing of Robert B. Parker, the foremost contemporary exponent of the Chandler style. As the novel opens, Marlowe is married and bored. Naturally enough, he starts up a detective agency, and within hours he has alienated solid citizens, tangled with the cops and been hired by a local gangster to find a gambler who's skipped out on a debt. And this is only the beginning. Before Marlowe brings in his man, he discovers another side of POODLE SPRINGS - a dark and dangerous place, where desperation makes men and women lead secret lives - and if that fails, the only alternative is murder... Parker has not only pulled off an intimidating literary assignment, but has done so brilliantly. - Los Angeles Times Sustaining tensions, writing in tune with the period and delivering a knockout finale, Parker does nobly by the great Chandler. - Publishers Weekly
