Raymond Chandler's matchless private eye is back, pulled with a seductive young heiress into the most difficult and dangerous circumstance of his career. "It was one particular summer Tuesday afternoons when you begin to question if the earth has halted revolving. Calling on my workplace had the look of something that is aware it's being viewed. Traffic trickled by in the pub below, and there have been a few pedestrians, too, men in hats going nowhere." So begins The Black-Eyed Blonde, a fresh novel displaying Philip Marlowe - yes, that Philip Marlowe. Channeling Raymond Chandler, Benjamin Dark colored has brought Marlowe back to life for a fresh excitement on the mean roads of Bay City, California. It is the early 1950s, Marlowe is really as restless and depressed as ever, and business is a little slow. Then a new client is shown in: young, beautiful, and expensively dressed up, she wants Marlowe to find her past lover, a guy known as Nico Peterson. Marlowe sets off on his search, but almost immediately discovers that Peterson's disappearance is merely the first in a series of bewildering occurrences. Soon he is tangling with one of Bay City's richest households and developing a singular appreciation for how far they'll go to safeguard their fortune. Only Benjamin Dark colored, a modern get better at of the genre, could write a fresh Philip Marlowe book that has all the panache and allure of the originals while delivering a tale that is really as pointed and fresh as today's best crime fiction.
