High window

The third volume of the Raymond Chandler mystery series. A wealthy lady who rules her lavish household with an iron hand - or so she pretends - wants to use Phil Marlowe's services to find a lost precious coin and a missing unworthy daughter-in-law. But there are many more dark secrets in the gloomy patrician house, and Marlowe, this "knight Galahad in a discount edition", is about to find out. The High Window is the third of seven novels featuring this iconic hero, with which the author changed the face of the detective genre. Radio recording from 2025.
