This is an amusing little fantasy. The protagonist is an alien who has heard radio broadcasts from Earth, and is such a Philip Marlowe fan that he feels compelled to come visit the planet. The text becomes more and more Chandleresque as the book goes on. And for once, the cover illustrator seems to have actually read the book. All the characters shown figure in the plot and are portrayed as they are described in the book.
