Raymond Chandler gilt mit seinem umfangreichen Werk als Pionier des modernen amerikanischen Kriminalromans. Die Helden seiner zahlreichen Romane und Kriminalkurzgeschichten repräsentieren die Prototypen der sogenannten "hardboiled detectives": hartgesottene, zynische Männer, die nicht unbedingt gesetzestreu vorgehen, wenn sie ihre gefährlichen Fälle aufklären.

Orfamay Quest kommt aus der Provinz nach Los Angeles. Sie sorgt sich um ihren vermissten Bruder. Das ist die Version, die sie Privatdetektiv Philip Marlowe auftischt. Die Spur führt hinter die Kulissen von Hollywood, Orfamays große Schwester ein Leinwandstar ist. Marlowe gerät in eine Welt aus Gangstern und Glamour, Cops und Fedoras. Ein Meisterwerk mit wunderbarster Film-Noir-Atmosphäre. Und gleichzeitig eine gnadenlose Entlarvung der Traumfabrik.

From its launch in 1920 until its demise in 1951, the magazine Black Mask published pulp crime fiction. The first hard-boiled detective stories appeared on its pages. Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner and John D. MacDonald got their start in Black Mask. The urban crime stories that appeared in Black Mask helped to shape American culture. Modern computer games, films, and television are rooted in the fiction popularized by “the seminal and venerated mystery pulp magazine” ( Booklist).

Privatdetektiv John Dalmas hat einen delikaten Auftrag übernommen: Er soll den reichen Erben Gerald Jeeter aus den Armen der schönen, aber geldgierigen Miss Huntress befreien - so jedenfalls stellt der Vater die Sache dar. Als erstes stößt Dalmas auf eine Leiche, dann entpuppt sich Miss Huntress als längst nicht so hartgesotten, wie sie tut. Von etwas härterem Kaliber sind die beiden Burschen, die Dalmas unmissverständlich klar machen, dass er die Finger von dem Fall lassen soll. Doch nach und nach findet Dalmas heraus, was wirklich hinter seinem Auftrag steckt.

Wenn der Santa Ana, der heiße Wüstenwind, durch die Stadt fegt, geschehen die seltsamsten Dinge und die Menschen drehen durch. Hätte Privatdetektiv Dalmas nicht gerade zufällig in der Kneipe gesessen, in der ein Betrunkener scheinbar wahllos einen hereinkommenden Mann erschießt. Und hätte Dalmas nicht ausgerechnet die Dame getroffen, nach der der Tote gefragt hatte, es wäre so manches nicht passiert. Doch so lässt er sich von ihr einen Auftrag geben und gerät dabei selbst in größte Gefahr.

Eigentlich sollte Marlowe nur eine junge Frau im Bahnhof von Los Angeles ausfindig machen: "Es war kein Kunststück. Der 'Super Chief' war pünktlich, wie fast immer, und meine Zielperson stach heraus wie ein Känguru im Smoking." Doch kaum beschattet er die Dame, jagt eins das andere: falscher Name, Erpressung, Verfolger, Gangster. Ja, die attraktive Rothaarige wird so fatal von ihrer Vergangenheit eingeholt, dass Marlowe schwach wird und ihr beizustehen beginnt.
