This is the real thing! For a penny under a tenner you not only get The Big Sleep, but also Farewell, My Lovely and The Long Good-Bye, beautifully packaged together. These are the novels that started the PI tradition that is still being enthusiastically written today, and no crime fan should be without a complete set of Chandler on their shelves. (Kirkus UK)

Raymond Chandler created the fast talking, trouble seeking Californian private eye Philip Marlowe for his first great novel The Big Sleep in 1939. Marlowe's entanglement with the Sternwood family - and an attendant cast of colourful underworld figures - is the background to a story reflecting all the tarnished glitter of the great American Dream. The detective's iconic image burns just as brightly in Farewell My Lovely, on the trail of a missing nightclub crooner. And the inimitable Marlowe is able to prove that trouble really is his business in Raymond Chandler's brilliant epitaph, The Long Goodbye.
