FAREWELL,
MY LOVELY
FAREWELL, MY LOVELY by Raymond Chandler
Marlowe's toughest case.
Chandler's greatest book.
Moose Malloy was a big man but not more than six feet five inches
tall and not wider than a beer truck. He looked about as
inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food.
Malloy wanted little Velma, and there was a trail of corpses to
indicate the way he'd gone. Philip Marlowe, hot on his heels,
began to look like Hamlet's father, in questionable shape.
First published in 1940.
Published in Penguin Books 1949. This edition 1975.
