- <p> I get a hundred dollars a day and expenses." Thanks to
- Robert B. Parker, vintage detective Philip Marlowe has one last
- case -- for his usual fee. Four chapters left behind by
- Marlowe's late creator, Raymond Chandler, intrigued the author,
- who has written 17 Spenser mysteries, and he finished the tale.
- The result, Poodle Springs, will be published this fall. The
- project meant some historical adjustments, says Parker.
- "Marlowe's attitudes toward women reflect the '30s and '40s. But
- he's more romantic than Spenser."
