Transcript

Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road. Knows who travel it wind up in the gut of the prism of the grave. There's no other end, but they never learn. On the pan of Raymond Tranper, outstanding author of Crime Fiction Comes, his most famous character in The Adventures of Philip Marlow.
