HTML:<b>Lawrence Osborne brings one of literature’s most enduring detectives back to life—as Private Investigator Philip Marlowe returns for one last adventure.</b><br />  <br /> <b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <i>THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW </i>AND NPR • NOMINATED FOR THE EDGAR AND SHAMUS AWARDS<br /></b><br /> The year is 1988. 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.   <br /> For 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? <br /> Set 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.<br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>Praise for <i>Only to Sleep</i></b><br /> <i> </i><br /> “A new case for Philip Marlowe and—have a smell from the barrel, all you gunsels and able grables —it <i>crackles</i>.”<b>—<i>The New York Times Book Review </i>(Editors’ Choice)</b><br /> <b> </b><br /> “Brilliant. Osborne and Chandler are a perfect match.”<b>—William Boyd, author of <i>Any Human Heart</i></b><br /> <b> </b><br /> “A Marlowe we at once know, but have never met before. As much a meditation on aging and memory as it is a crime thriller.”<b>—<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br /> <b> </b><br /> “It’s the kind of book where, when you read it, it turns the world to black and white for a half-hour afterward. It leaves you with the taste of rum and blood in your mouth. It hangs with you like a scar.”<b>—NPR</b>.
