PEOPLE, Page 69His Last CaseBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
I get a hundred dollars a day and expenses." Thanks to Robert
B. Parker, vintage detective Philip Marlowe has one last case --
for his usual fee. Four chapters left behind by Marlowe's late
creator, Raymond Chandler, intrigued the author, who has written
17 Spenser mysteries, and he finished the tale. The result, Poodle
Springs, will be published this fall. The project meant some
historical adjustments, says Parker. "Marlowe's attitudes toward
women reflect the '30s and '40s. But he's more romantic than
Spenser."
