Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
No detective is more closely associated with a particular city than is Philip Marlowe with Los Angeles. Marlowe's creator, Raymond Chandler, painted for his a readers a vivid picture of a sundrenched city eaten away by corruption of every stripe. But Chandler tended to fictionalize the names of the streets, the buildings, the restaurants that appear in his novels. So, in many cases, it fell to the authors of Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles to gather together, as Marlowe did, hints, clues, and leads to uncover the inspirations for the locales in Chandler's fiction.For instance, in The Long Goodbye Marlowe spends time in the bar of what Chandler calls the RitzBeverly Hotel. No such hotel existed, then or now, but Ward and Silver make a convincing case for the Beverly Hills Hotel, home of the famous Polo Lounge, serving as Chandler's inspiration. Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles offers a wealth of photographs, making it as well suited to armchair travelers as to the standard variety.
