 | Big Sleep by George P. Garrett, Raymond Chandler
Chandler's most famous protagonist, private detective Philip Marlowe, appears in this first novel. Drawn from Arthurian legend, Marlowe is a modern knight, dedicated to causes greater than himself and to restoring order in the world. His first priority is always his client. He is also wary of the authorities, although Chandler takes a more benevolent view of the police than do other writers of the noir genre. In this novel, Marlowe must discover what has happened to Rusty Regan, the beloved son-in-law of Marlowe's client General Sternwood. This book was originally published in 1939. AUTHOR: George P. Garrett, Raymond Chandler

 | Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov
A millennium into the future two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. Isaac Asimov's Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn to work together. Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions. But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help track down the killer. The relationship between Life and his Spacer superiors, who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start. Then he learned that they had assigned him a partner: R. Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the R stood for robot--and his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim! AUTHOR: Isaac Asimov
