In The Lady in the Lake, hardboiled crime fiction master Raymond Chandler brings us the story of a couple of missing wives—one a rich man's and one a poor man's—who have become the objects of Philip Marlowe's investigation. One of them may have gotten a Mexican divorce and married a gigolo and the other may be dead. Marlowe's not sure he cares about either one, but he's not paid to care.

Lo mejor de la novela negra

Clásico libro donde lo importante no es el misterio si no la visión de una sociedad opulenta y corrupta, unos bajos fondos donde todo vale porque nada está prohibido para quién puede pagárselo. Una de las mejores novelas de Chandler y para mi una de las mejores novelas negras que he leído
