  • ""Her name is Orfamay Quest and she's come all the way from Manhattan, Kansas, to find her missing brother Orrin.

But Marlowe's feeling charitable - though it's not long before he wishes he wasn't so sweet. You see, Orrin's tail leads Marlowe to luscious movie starlets, uppity gangsters, suspicious cops and corpses with ice picks jammed in their necks. When trouble comes calling sometimes it's best to pretend to be out." -- Back cover."

  • "The Little Sister focuses on popular private eye Philip Marlowe. When hired for an easy job'to find a seemingly innocent girl's older brother'Marlowe doesn't expect to find a trail of dead bodies or gangsters in love with movie stars. As he begins to solve the riddles surrounding his investigation, Marlowe discovers that in Hollywood, people will do anything to keep a clean reputation. From one of the original hardboiled detective writers, Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe is in a class of his own. Written after Raymond Chandler's stint as a Hollywood screenwriter, The Little Sister reflects Chandler's experience in the film industry, its corruption, and obsession with image. The Little Sister has been adapted for film and radio.
