Murder on a motorcycle, as Marlowe goes to work for a millionaire trying to protect his daughter. An iron skull was their trademark, their business was climbing walls and it was all done on wheels at 70 miles an hour but that was a cinch for the death cheaters until they felt murder and a feminine touch…

We are, once again, a world at war. Geopolitical elites are deploying the implacable forces of ethnocentric hatred and religious nationalism; ordinary people are paying a fearful price. Not for the first time: this has been the characteristic pattern of war for more than a century. Every selection in this anthology (except for the timeless Aeneid) casts light on modern war, observed or directly experienced. Most are grounded in particular places—Stalingrad, Halberstadt, Budapest, ...

Bizarre enthusiasm, unusual inheritors, $300,000 and a map are some of the details that made the radio broadcast perfect. When the will was read, everybody figured she'd been crazy when she wrote it.

The story of a mixed-up girl, and her mixed-up life and her really strange sister. The big fog that clung to Los Angeles made searching for the girl who was going to kill herself slow and uneasy, but in the end I’d have settled for that and more because murder happened twice before I found the lady in mink…

A Hawaiian caper on the trail of the fabulous historic relic. Marlowe finds murder and intrigue...including a dead Philip Marlowe, found in a lily pond! A good dramatic conclusion on the Pali of Oahu. It started at dawn in a Los Angeles taxi and wound up that night on a cliff in the middle of the pacific all because of a dustman with $50,000, a corpse in a lily pond and an oriental with a chauffer who wanted a cloak made of nothing but feathers…
