The place, Baja California. And Philip Marlowe--now in his seventy-second year--is living out his retirement in the terrace bar of the La Fonda hotel. Sipping margaritas, playing cards, his silver-tipped cane at the ready. When in saunter two men dressed like undertakers, with a case that has his name written all over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Marlowe, this is his last roll of the dice, his swan song. His mission is to investigate the death of Donald Zinn--supposedly drowned off his yacht, and leaving behind a much younger and now very rich wife. But is Zinn actually alive? Are the pair living off the spoils?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet between the border and badlands of Mexico and California, Lawrence Osborne's resurrection of the iconic Marlowe is an unforgettable addition to the Raymond Chandler canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for Only to Sleep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"A new case for Philip Marlowe and--have a smell from the barrel, all you gunsels and able grables --it crackles.\"--The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Brilliant.
