Marlowe was one of the Gold-Medalists of that legendary (in retrospect)
era; his stuff is quite good. Unfortunately, he seems to have fallen
into oblivion. But you can find his work in good used mystery bookshops;
when I finish unpacking my library I can give you some titles (I have
about a half a dozen of his paperbacks). As to how good Marlowe was, all
I can say from memory is that he was definitely better than Gil Brewer
and definitely not as good as Charles Williams or John D. Macdonald...
