what the plot in trouble is my business ????

Philip Marlowe is a private detective of some reputation. Philip has brown eyes that are warm and flecked with gold. Philip is just over six feet tall and weighs about one hundred and ninety five pounds. He lives in an apartment complex called the Berglund on the fourth floor. Philip is a decent man, who lives by a code that is fair and mostly honest.

Philip is the kind of private detective that will put himself out on a limb or in harm's way to help almost any woman who asks him for aid. He isn't afraid to bill for his services, but sometimes finds himself working for free because circumstances don't lend themselves to billing. Trouble is his business, although he is often so surrounded by it, that he prefers not to use the tag line as much as he once did.

In the course of this novel, Philip is shot, punched, followed, and lied to. He often finds himself doing the job of the police for them, despite their lack of respect for him. He is tough and competent, intelligent and resourceful
