The Second Murderer

In a city of mirrors and lies, even Private Detective Philip Marlowe can't see himself clearly.

Los Angeles, mid-September. The sun beats down, the streets shimmer, and private detective Philip Marlowe is already in trouble. A missing heiress, a dying father, and a rival investigator with a head start. Nothing in this town stays clean for long.

From Beverly Hills mansions to skid-row bars, every deal comes laced with corruption, every favour with a threat.

Denise Mina revives Chandler's immortal detective with smoky confidence and wit, capturing the rhythm, humour and danger of classic noir while making it unmistakably her own. The Second Murderer is Marlowe reborn for a new generation.
