The High Window
by Raymond Chandler

Philip Marlowe, P.I., is called to the house of a wealthy widow to recover a missing Brasher Doubloon, a rare and valuable coin. The widow suspects her son’s estranged wife, but her son has cashflow problems and a few unsavory friends -- and the plot just keeps getting thicker! While the group will primarily discuss The High Window, members are welcome to bring their own favorite Chandler books to talk about as well.
