  • "They never came tougher than Marlowe, a cynical, world-weary, wise-cracking shamus whose honesty in a dishonest world sent him down the mean streets again and again in search of some-kind of justice. At six feet five, Moose Malloy is a big man who looks about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food - and about as dangerous. His girl Velma disappeared eight years ago, and now he wants to find her. Trouble is, there's a trail of corpses to indicate where the small-time criminal has been looking. Philip Marlowe never was the kind of guy to walk away from trouble, and before long he's hot on Moose's trail. All he has to do is find the girl ... Ed Bishop stars as Philip Marlowe."

  • "Eight years ago Moose Malloy and cute little redhead Velma were getting married, until someone framed Malloy for armed robbery. Now his stretch is up and he wants Velma back. PI Philip Marlow meets Malloy one hot day in Hollywood and, out of the generosity of his jaded heart, agrees to help him. Dragged from one smoky bar to another, Marlowe's search for Velma turns up plenty of dangerous gangsters with a nasty habit of shooting first and talking later. And soon what started as a search for a missing person becomes a matter of life and death."

  • "A warm day on Central Avenue, and Philip Marlowe's hunch about the man beside him is as vague as the heat waves that dance above the sidewalk. The way business is looking, even a hunch is enough. Moose Malloy stands six five and one-half and weighs two hundred and sixty-four pounds, without his necktie. After eight years in the pen, he wants little Velma back, and no cops or mobsters are ready to stand in his way. Marlowe's tough enough for the ride, but he can't help thinking there's never been a happy ending to the story of beauty and the beast."
