Gum shoe crime masterpiece. The tone and pace are flawless and the plot unfolds perfectly. Cannot recommend it enough.

The second in the Philip Marlowe series in which he gets caught up in a murder connected to a ring of jewel thieves. It is always good to follow these stories of the hard drinking detective and this is a fairly good story. Unfortunately, it drifts in the middle and comes to its completion much later than I would have liked. It almost seems as if the publishers ask the author if he could stretch the story by adding another hundred pages in the middle. Enough Chandler there to make it a worthwhile, but possibly not his best.
