Description:

On the 12th of April, 1955 Raymond Chandler boarded the Mauritania in New York setting sail for the England of his youth. Four years later, he died, a lonely alcoholic, in a small town on the South Californian coast. A Knight at Sea is a fictional account of this story. Woven like a film noir this is a Chandleresque tale of bizarre friendship coupled with intrigue and murder. "Probably the best novel about Raymond Chandler ever written! Brilliant, bold, witty, political and totally absorbing!" Ozymandias
