Perchance to Dream

Description

Set several years after the events of *The Big Sleep*, this authorized continuation returns Philip Marlowe to the shadowy streets and sunlit hills of Los Angeles. When the death of General Sternwood draws Marlowe back to the Sternwood mansion, old loyalties, unresolved tensions, and the dangerous influence of gangster Eddie Mars begin to surface. Moving through a world of wealth, corruption, betrayal, and hard-boiled violence, the novel explores the enduring mysteries surrounding the Sternwood family while honoring Raymond Chandler’s legendary creation. With sharp dialogue, atmospheric noir, and a morally searching private eye at its center, it offers Robert B. Parker’s distinctive interpretation of one of crime fiction’s most iconic universes.
