Raymond Chandler's Trouble Is My Business — Raymond Chandler
The morally gray world of Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler's iconic private eye, comes to vivid life in this brilliant graphic novel adaptation of the classic noir tale.
“Inspired. . . . This trio bring [Chandler's] words to vivid life. . . . A triumph of teamwork.” -- Air Mail
In 1940s Los Angeles, a sour-faced millionaire hires Philip Marlowe, a hard-boiled, harder-drinking detective, to scare off a suspected gold digger who has gotten her claws into his even wealthier stepson. Marlowe takes the case but quickly discovers that the woman, Harriett Huntress, isn't just after gold: she's playing a long, cold game of revenge…
Marlowe forms an alliance with George, the client's chauffeur-cum-bodyguard-cum-fixer. George is a Black, Dartmouth-educated veteran with a sniper's skills and his own agenda, and the two uneasy allies find themselves on the wrong end of a brace of hired killers and an enigmatic casino boss. . . . It quickly becomes clear that Marlowe, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, is just asking for trouble. But that's the thing. Trouble is his business.
