Playback Philip Marlowe - Raymond Chandler Mystery Free Full Length Audiobook Dramatized Radio Show
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: Playback is a novel by American-British writer Raymond Chandler featuring the private detective Philip Marlowe. It was first published in Britain in July 1958; the US edition followed in October that year. Chandler died the following year; Playback is his last completed novel.
On 8 January 1947 Universal announced they had bought a story from Raymond Chandler called Playback. Joseph Sistrom was assigned to produce the film and it was intended Chandler would write the script.[1] The novel was reworked by Chandler from the screenplay. The script, thought by some to be superior to the novel (generally considered to be the weakest of the seven Marlowe novels, perhaps because of its less complex plot and pat resolution), was published posthumously.
Playback is the only Marlowe novel completed by Chandler that is set somewhere other than Los Angeles. The setting is the town of Esmeralda, a fictional name for La Jolla, where Chandler lived his last few years. Poodle Springs, which Chandler did not finish, is set in Palm Springs, California.
"Playback" by Raymond Chandler is a classic detective novel featuring the iconic private investigator Philip Marlowe. Set in the noir atmosphere of 1950s Los Angeles, Marlowe is hired to tail a mysterious woman named Betty Mayfield. As he delves deeper, he finds himself entangled in a web of deceit, danger, and intrigue. The story takes unexpected twists and turns, revealing dark secrets and exposing the underbelly of the city. Marlowe's wit, sharp observations, and determination lead him through a series of encounters with shady characters, ultimately uncovering a complex conspiracy that threatens to consume them all.
