The fifth in Chandler's gritty Philip Marlowe series, Little Sister follows the private investigator to Los Angeles. There, Marlowe wades into the scandal surrounding a Hollywood starlet and her missing brother. Blackmail, drugs, and murder aren't far behind. This particular episode in Marlowe's arc has been noted for drawing on Chandler's own experiences as a screenwriter; and many of the grittier details reflect his low opinion of the film industry and its participants. Fine in Very Good + dust jacket. (Item #5596)
