The Lady in the Lake is a 1943 detective novel by Raymond Chandler featuring the Los Angeles private investigator Philip Marlowe. Notable for its removal of Marlowe from his usual Los Angeles environs for much of the book, the novel's complicated plot initially deals with the case of a missing woman in a small mountain town some 80 miles (130 km) from the city. The book was written shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and makes several references to America's recent involvement in World War II.

Lo mejor de la novela negra

5 stars

Clásico libro donde lo importante no es el misterio si no la visión de una sociedad opulenta y corrupta, unos bajos fondos donde todo vale porque nada está prohibido para quién puede pagárselo. Una de las mejores novelas de Chandler y para mi una de las mejores novelas negras que he leído
