About Author: Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 - March 26, 1959) was an American-British novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a popular pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published seven novels during his lifetime (an eighth, in progress at the time of his death, was completed by Robert B. Parker). All but Playback have been made into motion pictures, some more than once. In the year before his death, he was elected president of the Mystery Writers of America
About the book: Private investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by wealthy widow Elizabeth Bright Murdock to recover a missing Brasher Doubloon, a rare and valuable coin. Mrs. Murdock suspects it was stolen by her son's estranged wife, Linda Conquest, a former singer. Returning to his office, Marlowe is followed by a blond man in a coupe. Mrs. Murdock's son Leslie Murdock visits Marlowe and tries to learn why his mother hired him. Murdock reveals that he owes nightclub owner Alex Morny a large sum of money. Marlowe learns that Linda Conquest had two friends: Lois Magic and a Mr. Vannier; Magic is now married to Morny. Marlowe visits Mrs. Morny at home and finds her with Vannier, who acts suspiciously. Marlowe is again tailed by the blond in the coupe and confronts him. He is George Anson Phillips, an amateurish private detective, who wants to enlist Marlowe's help on a case he cannot handle. Marlowe agrees to meet him at his apartment later.
In "The High Window" by Raymond Chandler, private detective Philip Marlowe is once again thrust into a gritty world of crime and corruption in post-World War II Los Angeles. The story opens when Marlowe is hired by the wealthy and eccentric widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Bright Murdock, to recover a rare and valuable coin known as the Brasher Doubloon, which has mysteriously vanished from her collection.
As Marlowe delves deeper into the case, he encounters a web of deception, betrayal, and murder. The search for the missing coin leads him to a colorful cast of characters, including the cunning and beautiful Merle Davis, who may be hiding crucial information. Marlowe navigates the seedy underbelly of LA, encountering mobsters, crooked cops, and dark secrets that threaten to expose the city's corruption.
Chandler's trademark writing style, characterized by sharp dialogue, a cynical outlook, and a keen eye for detail, immerses readers in the atmospheric world of noir fiction. Marlowe's relentless pursuit of the truth takes unexpected twists and turns, ultimately revealing a shocking truth about the Brasher Doubloon and the people connected to it.
"The High Window" is a classic example of hard-boiled detective fiction, filled with suspense, moral ambiguity, and a protagonist who plays by his own rules in a world where justice is often elusive.
