Philip Marlowe is the archetypal noir detective: wisecracking and world weary,
hard boiled yet honourable. This volume includes all eight dramatisations of
Raymond Chandler's groundbreaking crime novels featuring his iconic hero.

The Big Sleep: Marlowe is consulted by a wealthy family man with two big
problems: his children.

Farewell My Lovely: Marlowe's search for an ex-con's ex-girlfriend leads him
into danger.

The High Window: when a rare gold coin is stolen from her collection, Mrs
Murdoch hires Philip Marlowe to find it.

The Lady in the Lake: businessman Derace Kingsley hires Marlowe to find his
estranged wife, Crystal.

The Little Sister: commissioned to find Orfamay Quest's missing brother,
Marlowe is drawn into the glamorous film world of Hollywood.

The Long Goodbye: Marlowe befriends a drunk named Terry Lennox but comes
to regret doing him a favour.

Playback: hired to follow the mysterious Betty Mayfield, Marlowe soon finds that
he is being tailed, too.

Poodle Springs: newly married Marlowe puts his bride aside to look for a
gambler on the run.

Starring Toby Stephens as Philip Marlowe, these stylish, suspenseful
dramatisations - full of witty, ironic dialogue and colourful characters - bring the
beautiful, corrupt world of California in the '40s and '50s to luminous life.
