About Author: Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 - March 26, 1959) was an American-British novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a popular pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published seven novels during his lifetime (an eighth, in progress at the time of his death, was completed by Robert B. Parker). All but Playback have been made into motion pictures, some more than once. In the year before his death, he was elected president of the Mystery Writers of America
About the book: Private investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by wealthy widow Elizabeth Bright Murdock to recover a missing Brasher Doubloon, a rare and valuable coin. Mrs. Murdock suspects it was stolen by her son's estranged wife, Linda Conquest, a former singer. Returning to his office, Marlowe is followed by a blond man in a coupe. Mrs. Murdock's son Leslie Murdock visits Marlowe and tries to learn why his mother hired him. Murdock reveals that he owes nightclub owner Alex Morny a large sum of money. Marlowe learns that Linda Conquest had two friends: Lois Magic and a Mr. Vannier; Magic is now married to Morny. Marlowe visits Mrs. Morny at home and finds her with Vannier, who acts suspiciously. Marlowe is again tailed by the blond in the coupe and confronts him. He is George Anson Phillips, an amateurish private detective, who wants to enlist Marlowe's help on a case he cannot handle. Marlowe agrees to meet him at his apartment later.
In "The High Window" by Raymond Chandler, private detective Philip Marlowe is once again thrust into a gritty world of crime and corruption in post-World War II Los Angeles. The story opens when Marlowe is hired by the wealthy and eccentric widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Bright Murdock, to recover a rare and valuable coin known as the Brasher Doubloon, which has mysteriously vanished from her collection.
As Marlowe delves deeper into the case, he encounters a web of deception, betrayal, and murder. The search for the missing coin leads him to a colorful cast of characters, including the cunning and beautiful Merle Davis, who may be hiding crucial information. Marlowe navigates the seedy underbelly of LA, encountering mobsters, crooked cops, and dark secrets that threaten to expose the city's corruption.
Chandler's trademark writing style, characterized by sharp dialogue, a cynical outlook, and a keen eye for detail, immerses readers in the atmospheric world of noir fiction. Marlowe's relentless pursuit of the truth takes unexpected twists and turns, ultimately revealing a shocking truth about the Brasher Doubloon and the people connected to it.
"The High Window" is a classic example of hard-boiled detective fiction, filled with suspense, moral ambiguity, and a protagonist who plays by his own rules in a world where justice is often elusive.

What a great book. That line near the end about writing a good poem and losing it has to be one of the best in all of detective fiction.
When I was in my twenties I used to play the matches of the past chess masters by myself. After a while I could play my friend even who used to beat me all the time, and could beat my brother all the time who I used to play even.
Later in life I bought a better double-weighted chess set and displayed it, but it just sat there.
Now, it sits boxed on a shelf. The two chess books I used to play from sit in my library, lending me a certain appearance of erudition, but I don't have it in me anymore.
This sounds like a BBC radio drama production and never bettered .
Well done the Beeb !!
Nice one. I didn't even realize that was Joe Mantegna. I love his readings of the Spenser books.
Far out fire flies‼️
What a magnificent story 😍
Dude this is EXCELLENT. I had no idea there were more Marlowe novels! I read the Big Sleep years ago when I rented it from the LA Public Library. I loved it so much! Now I'm stuck between listening to the rest of these novels, or finding the books and reading them...

I grew up in Venice Beach many happy years reading all the Horse Books in the Venice library then all the sci Fi books then graduated to checking out 10 big sci Fi books every week from Santa Monica Library and consuming them at night while attending Notre Dame Academy
Raymond Chandler, check him out. One of the very best!
I am loving❤ the Private Detective Philip Marlowe audio books more & more. Thank you so much Bites Biswas for posting it.
Thanks❤
Toby Stephens as Marlowe?
He's no Bogart, but he kills it... (when he keeps the accent on the West coast.)
Great job on the serial, team.
Love 'em all.
Listened to this many many times over the years and it's still a great drama, Raymond Chandler is/was author to this day.
These are so good, I wish there were more. This production and the cast are perfect
Very well produced all around. Thanks so much :)🕵🏻♂️🪙👩🏼💼🌷🌱
So nice of you
Good story, enjoyed that.

Watched the movie with George Montgomery the other day. Great movie, but I prefer this medium.
Toby Stephens did a remarkable job on every one of these! Would really enjoy seeing it on a screen.

When I was a youngster I saw the movie "The Brasher Babloon" starring George Montgomery (Dinah Shore's husband).
It, for reasons I am uncertain about, has remained in my memory. I was very young, so it was probably the style of acting, photography, direction... things that make movies so exciting.
I hope I'll enjoy this production.
I'll report at the end of the video.
Excellent production quality.
I'm still not sure about why I remember the George Montgomery movie. Probably the complex plot. I probably never quite figured it out. And George Montgomery's acting. It's hard to overdo Philip Marlow.
Thanks for the video.
It must take quite a lot of planning and effort to pull together so many aspects of the production... script, music, sound effects, casting for voices as well as acting ability.
I expect that from a radio program, but an independent site like this...I'm VERY impressed.
Good work!!!

That brasser dabloon is worth 9.36 million now
This was extremely abridged from the book, and the fact that it says "full length" is misleading.
I saw the movie when I eleven, I cried the hole way through, It was marvelous. Raymond chandler, people don't no, was Irish. In a of his stories, there was an somebody, mostly a cop. And like most Irish, he like to drink. At the end, he drank himself to death, when the love of his like, his wife, died.

I think it lacks a certain something in the over all tone. If I could change one thing it would be to have the narration in the past tense, as it is in the books, instead of present tense.
This BBC radio series (of all 7 Chandler novels) is even more amazing when you learn that ALL the actors were Brits.
Marlowe was played by Toby Stephens, son of dame Maggie smith, the dowager countess on Downton Abbey. Merle was Jessica Raine, star of Call the Midwife.
Oh, and the nasty Mrs. Murdoch was Judy Parfitt, the demented but saintly sister Monica on Midwife - amazing acting.
Toby Stephens ' American accent was excruciating .Almost as bad as his " Bond " accent.!
@@2msvalkyrie529- He keeps it together on Lady in the Lake, but your right... He tends to wanders the country. That said, I think his voice and overall tone really carries the Marlowe character well...
... And that's saying something when you have to stand in Bogart's shadow.
Nice
Thanks
