Derace Kingsley`s wife ran away to Mexico to get a quickie divorce and marry a Casanova-wannabe named Chris Lavery. Or so the note she left her husband insisted. Trouble is, when Philip Marlowe asks Lavery about it he denies everything and sends the private investigator packing with a flea lodged firmly in his ear. But when Marlowe next encounters Lavery, he`s denying nothing - on account of the two bullet holes in his heart. Now Marlowe`s on the trail of a killer, who leads him out of smoggy LA all the way to a murky mountain

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lady in the Lake is a 1947 American noir film that marked the directorial debut of actor Robert Montgomery who also starred in the film. Based on the 1944 Raymond Chandler novel The Lady in the Lake. The picture features Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan, Tom Tully, Leon Ames and Jayne Meadows.

KILLER IN THE RAIN, THE MAN WHO LIKED DOGS, THE CURTAIN, TRY THE GIRL, MANDARIN`S JADE, BAY CITY BLUES, THE LADY IN THE LAKE AND NO CRIME IN THE MOUNTAIN It was in the pulp detective magazines of the 1930s that Raymond Chandler`s definitive take on the hard-boiled detective story first appeared. Here then, from the pages of the Black Mask and Dime Detective Magazine, are eight of his finest stories. Sharper than a hoodlum`s switchblade, more exciting than an unexpected red-head and stronger than a double shot of whiskey, they are packed full of the punchy poetry and laconic wit that makes Chandler the undisputed master of his genre.
