Synopsis
Philip Marlowe is on the hunt for a missing heiress -- and up against a rival PI -- in this smart and atmospheric authorized mystery from acclaimed crime writer and "one-of-a-kind storyteller" Denise Mina (James Patterson), the first woman to recreate Raymond Chandler's infamous detective. Has Philip Marlowe finally met his match? It's early fall when a heatwave descends on Los Angeles. Private Detective Philip Marlowe is called to the Montgomery estate, an almost mythic place sitting high on top of Beverly Hills. Wealthy socialite Chrissie Montgomery is missing. Young, naïve, and set to inherit an enormous fortune, she's a walking target, ripe for someone to get their claws into. Her dying father and his sultry bottle-blonde girlfriend want her found before that happens. To make sure, they've got Anne Riordan--now head of her own all-female detective agency--on the case, too. The search for Chrissie takes the two investigators from the Montgomery mansion to the roughest neighborhoods of LA, through dive bars and boarding houses and out to Skid Row. And that's all before they find the body at The Brody Hotel. Who will get to Chrissie first? And what happens when a woman doesn't want to be found? In The Second Murderer , Denise Mina becomes the first woman to recreate Raymond Chandler's infamous detective, delivering a clever and timely new take on Philip Marlowe, as well as a propulsive, dark, and witty mystery all its own., This smart and atmospheric mystery from an acclaimed crime author finds Marlowe on the hunt for a missing heiress--and up against a rival PI.

- s***p (548)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBrand new and sealed, high quality, great price below retail. Looks great. Packaged well, shipped soon and arrived quickly. Only issue was communications. For the first couple of days after shipping there was no tracking info. When I inquired about this I received what read like a computer generated response strangely asking me for info to identify the product, even though the message I sent was through eBay and for this product. But, then, tracking info appeared after a few days.
- 3***r (480)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat price. Securely packaged. Shipped quickly. Took a chance on a no-pic listing and got what was described.
- a***a (18630)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI can't "rate this item" because I'm not planning to read it. I bought the book to donate to the Bo Brown Memorial Gay & Lesbian Collection in the Sterne Library & Archives at the University of Alabama in Birmingham where I'm positive it will make a great addition to the collection . . . BUT . . . I CAN say that the seller did a great job in handling this transaction. Book was carefully packaged & was promptly shipped - - - and was just as described . . . so there's that :-} Thanks!
