Items related to Lamaar Ransom: Private Eye
Lamaar Ransom runs her detective agency - an agency with a
difference - from a run-down office in the Cahuenga Building of Los
Angeles, keeping the wolf from the door with $25 expenses and a sharp line
in wisecracks: the kind of lady everyone underestimates - to their cost!
difference - from a run-down office in the Cahuenga Building of Los
Angeles, keeping the wolf from the door with $25 expenses and a sharp line
in wisecracks: the kind of lady everyone underestimates - to their cost!
A phone call, a surprising encounter and a set of locker keys lead Lamaar
to the first of a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. And it
isn't long before she, her beautiful Mexican-American girlfriend and gay
black secretary are involved in just the kind of murky labyrinth of
double-dealing, blackmail and murder that frequently enmeshes Philip
Marlowe. As things go from bad to worse to hilarious to deadly in the hunt
for "who killed Yvette La-Flamme", Lamaar finds that everyone wants to buy,
warn or kill her off!
'Lamaar Ransom' has more tantalising false leads than 'The Big Sleep', a
more involved plot than 'Farewell My Lovely' and a private eye with more
wit and wits than Philip Marlowe himself: a book that Chandler would have
been proud to have written.
