'Brilliant... Osborne and Chandler are a perfect match.' - William Boyd, author of Any Human Heart and Solo: A James Bond Novel
'It's a joy to see Philip Marlowe lured back for one last job by the gleefully unsentimental Lawrence Osborne... If you like noir, pour yourself something cool and enjoy one final dark night of the soul.' - Joseph Knox, author of Sirens
'Osborne is the third writer to have resurrected Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe (following Robert B.Parker and Benjamin Black), and his effort may be the best of the lot. Wisely electing not to re-create Chandler's iconic PI in his salad days, nor to imitate the author's simile-strewn style, Osborne gives us a retired Marlowe, 72 years old and living in Baja California in the late 1980s. Osborne's real triumph here is to create a new style for the septuagenarian Marlowe that seems absolutely right, less florid but even more driven by mordant wit.' - Booklist
'Osborne skillfully channels Chandler's distinctive prose and tone. He also captures Marlowe's keen observations and courage, along with a world-weariness and cynicism that somehow mesh with his essential sense of hope.' - Seattle Times
'Fans of the Raymond Chandler originals as well as the Robert B. Parker and Benjamin Black successors will find much to like here... A fresh perspective on one of the classic hard-boiled detectives.' - Library Journal
