One of the most acclaimed works of crime fiction ever written, The Big Sleep is the first novel featuring Raymond Chandler's iconic creation Philip Marlowe, hailed as the quintessential urban private eye (Los Angeles Times).

One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious. --Robert B. Parker, The New York Times Book Review

When old man Sternwood, a dying millionaire, hires Philip Marlowe to expose the blackmailer of one of his troublesome daughters, Marlowe finds himself involved with more than simple extortion. Kidnapping, pornography, and seduction are just a few of the complications standing in the way of completing the task at hand. And just as Marlowe feels he's getting ahold of the situation, he discovers the first body.
