Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep is the definitive hard boiled detective story and Philip Marlowe the perfect expression of the cynical, world-weary gumshoe.

The fiction re-launch in the UK market needed a new cover to surprise the readers and to emphasize the story line which is bold and full of suspense.

The books were all printed in hardcover with premium quality ink and it came to celebrate Penguin’s partnership with DK Books USA into bringing more classics with re-mastered visuals to the British market.
