Derace Kingsley's wife ran away to Mexico to get a speedy divorce and marry a Casanova-wannabe named Chris Lavery, or so the note she left her husband insisted. The trouble is, when Philip Marlowe asks Lavery about it he denies everything and sends the private investigator packing with a flea lodged firmly in his ear. But when Marlowe next encounters Lavery, he?s denying nothing - on account of the two bullet holes in his heart. Now Marlowe?s on the trail of a killer, who leads him out of smoggy LA all the way to a murky mountain lake ... Starring Toby Stephens as Philip Marlowe - our lonely, restless, hard-drinking hero. From James Bond baddie to star of BBC2's popular new comedy drama VEXED, featuring two maverick sleuths. Toby Stephens' previous credits include Prince John in ROBIN HOOD and Mr Rochester in the acclaimed BBC adaptation of JANE EYRE.
