"Joe Ide reinvents Raymond Chandler's seductive and relentless detective, Philip Marlowe, and brings him boldly to life in contemporary Los Angeles"--Dust jacket flap.
Summary:
"Marlowe, against his better judgment, accepts two missing person cases, the first a daughter of a faded, tyrannical Hollywood starlet, and the second, a British child stolen from his mother by his father. At the center of The Goodbye Coast is Marlowe's troubled and confounding relationship with his father, a son who despises yet respects his dad, and a dad who's unable to hide his bitter disappointment with his grown boy"-- Provided by publisher
