Excellent as always.

Corrections:

The author is Raymond Chandler, the character is Philip Marlowe

The German colony of Kamerun was divided into two League of Nations mandates the larger of these was administered by France (not Britain). The split mandate is the reason the modern Republic of Cameroon has both French and English speaking regions.

"Philip Marlowe's private eye Raymond Chandler"? "Philip Marlowe's private eye Dashiell Hammett"? "Raymond Chandler's private eye Sam Spade"? "Sam Chandler's private eye Philip Hammett"?
