In this second Philip Marlowe novel, the detective is more fleshed-out and well-drawn. Chandler expanded Marlowe`s trademark irreverence and wise-guy remakrs, and in
Farewell, My Lovely
Marlowe is more well-intentioned. Taking on the case of Moose Malloy, wrongly imprisoned for robbery, Marlowe must also find Malloy`s love Velma, who disappeared when Malloy was imprisoned eight years before. Also Marlowe must come to terms with his feelings for Anne Riordan, who is assisting him with the case.

A suspicious death and an estate in dispute threaten a Christmas family reunion in this Victorian-era mystery. Years ago, Judah Dreghorn, a judge respected for his honesty and fair dealing, ruled that the deed to a particular estate had been forged, and he later purchased that estate from the favored claimant. With the finding of an ancient Viking site on the grounds, the estate is more valuable than ever. Now the accused forger, Ashton Gower, has been released from prison, and Judah has died in an apparent accident. Could Gower be responsible? At the behest of Judah`s wife Antonia, her godfather Henry Rathbone (from the William Monk series) investigates, even as the rest of the Dreghorn family arrives at the estate for the holiday season.

The hideously disfigured body of Lucius Licinius was found in the atrium. The only clues are a blood-soaked cloak, and, carved into the stone at the corpse's feet, the word Sparta...For Gordianus the Finder, summoned from Rome to a luxury resort on the Bay of Naples, the case is agonizing. The overseer of Marcus Crassus's estate has been murdered, apparently by two slaves bent on joining Spartacus's revolt. The wealthy, powerful Crassus vows to honor an ancient law and kill his ninety-nine remaining slaves in retaliation. From the brutal stench of a slave galley to the limpid, sea-glazed beauty of Baiae and the sulphurous pits of the Sybil at Cumae, Giordanus draws closer to the terrifying truth. Enmeshed in a world of desperate slaves and duplicitous masters, extravagant feasts and sordid secrets, he must risk all he loves, including his life, to stop a senseless slaughter-and save the very future of Rome itself.
