Joe Ide

a Philip Marlowe novel

Detective Philip Marlowe, against his better judgment, accepts two missing person cases, the first, a daughter of a faded, tyrannical movie starlet, and the second, a British child stolen from his mother by his father. As he plunges deeper into each case, disconcerting details emerge, and Marlowe begins to suspect that both clients are withholding some crucial information. Nothing is as it seems, and the path to answers is a winding one, leading Marlowe across the blinding wealth of Malibu and into the darkest reaches of the Armenian mob. As he navigates each investigation, he must also confront an old but familiar ache: his troubled and confounding relationship with his father. As much as Marlowe tries to impress, his father cannot hide his bitter disappointment with his grown boy. --Adapted from container
