Cody, who believes that Kendra had her father killed, refuses to come home the truth, of course, is far less straightforward and a lot more dangerous. When obnoxious film star Kendra Jones hires him, he assumes it’s to solve the murder of her director husband, shot dead some weeks earlier on the beach in Malibu, but she wants him to find and return her 17-year-old stepdaughter. Ide’s creation shares a name, a job description and a location with his literary progenitor, but has a deal more backstory – including a failed police career and a complicated relationship with his LAPD veteran father – and a deal less alcohol (although Dad makes up for that). Now comes a contemporary reimagining of Raymond Chandler’s private eye, Philip Marlowe. Joe Ide’s first series featured the Sherlock Holmes-like Isaiah Quintabe. The Goodbye Coast by Joe Ide (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, £1 6.99)
