Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition By This Publisher. 258 pages. Goodreads: Her name is Orfamay Quest and she's come all the way from Manhattan, Kansas, to find her missing brother Orrin. Or least ways that's what she tells PI Philip Marlowe, offering him a measly twenty bucks for the privilege. But Marlowe's feelin…g charitable though it's not long before he wishes he wasn't so sweet. You see, Orrin's trail leads Marlowe to luscious movie starlets, uppity gangsters, suspicious cops and corpses with ice picks jammed in their necks. When trouble comes calling, sometimes it's best to pretend to be out. ** [Source for the 1969 MOVIE: Marlowe, starring James Garner, Carrol O'Connor, Rita Moreno, Bruce Lee (brief role), and Sharon Farrell. IMDB notes "Interesting variation on 'The Little Sister' by Raymond Chandler with '40's film noir replaced by a colorful and stylish '60's motif. The film does a good job of keeping certain Chandler elements in the forefront. The violent thugs, the irritable cops, and the classy woman in distress are all here, as is Marlowe, portrayed as a prototype Jim Rockford. Garner does a good job in the lead; his performance is truer to the Marlowe character than Bogart managed in 'The Big Sleep' (but then that wasn't the point of 'The Big Sleep', now was it?]; >> Cover scuffing & creasing; spine slant; wear to paper spine. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. William Shoyer Painted Cover. (illustrator). Book.
