Set in the early 1950s, The Black-Eyed Blonde sees Philip Marlowe just as restless and lonely as ever, as his detective business is a little slow.
But all of that is interrupted when a stunningly attractive blonde client walks into his office and asks Philip Marlowe to help him finder her ex-lover.
That’s why Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monahan, who picked up the gong for his work on The Departed, immediately set out to bring The Black-Eyed Blonde to life.
Of course, there’s much more to the story than that, and Philip Marlowe soon discovers that this disappearance is just one piece of a huge mystery that finds him wrapped up with one of the most powerful families in Bay Cities, who are willing to go to extreme measures to keep their fortune.
