MIKE FARADAY 7: THE MARBLE ORCHARD BASIL COPPER
"MOVE OVER MARLOWE, THERE'S A NEW P.I. IN TOWN!"
"Death is an atrociously painful business, Mr. Faraday. I don't advise you to try it,". the dying Mr. Darcy tells Mike Faraday, the laconic L.A. private-eye.
It is Mr. Darcy who speaks of The Marble Orchard, the cemetary which holds not only men's bodies but also their hopes.
Faraday is hired to find out who is behind an apparently trivial series of thefts in the home of Madame Azelma, the aged millionairess founder of a cosmetic empire. Farady's lonely trail lead to blackmail by pornography and, inevitably, murder on a grand scale.
The beautiful Zelda Frain takes refuge in Mike's arms while the soothing presence of Stella in the office, as always, provides the only constant in his violent life.Reviews on original publication
