Human remains are recovered from the bottom of the River Clyde. Not an unusual occurrence, but these have been sleeping the deep, dark sleep for eighteen years. Suddenly Glasgow’s underworld is buzzing with the news that the dredged up bones belong to Gentleman Joe Strachan, Glasgow’s most successful and ruthless armed robber. When Isa and Violet, Strachan’s daughters, hire Lennox to find out who has been sending them large sums of cash each year, on the anniversary of Strachan’s most successful robbery, his instincts tell him that this job spells trouble and will take him back into the dark world of the Three Kings - the crime bosses who run the city. He takes the job nevertheless. And soon learns that ignoring his instincts might just cost him his life.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Deep Dark Sleep to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Deep Dark Sleep?
No "moments" but some witty language. The genre, the structure and even the griminess of the setting was very much in the Chandler style and the author does it very well.What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?
Flawless with accents and characters. Really good Glaswegian heavies.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It's a crime thriller--not specifically moving--just a rattling good tale.Any additional comments?
The end was a bit deus ex machina, and therefore somewhat unsatisfactory. Even with that, there were unanswered questions and, I am sorry to say, enough loose ends to knit a scarf.If I went into too much detail it would spoil things for prospective readers (and this book is certainly well worth reading) but Russell had a couple of intractable plot problems by the end and it looks like he couldn't be bothered to figure out more than a quick comb-over to obscure them. Most comb-overs tend to draw attention to the lack of what should be there, rather than hiding it. But then, Chandler did that sort of thing as well and we all forgive him.
Marlowe lives!
