Reader's note

This very tough, very tense and enormously lively piece of hard boiled detective fiction is written by one of the greats! It started with some business about a rare coin. Everybody knew who had stolen it, but nobody was anxious to do anything about it. Marlowe couldn't understand why old lady had hired him, she didn't seem to like detectives and she didn't want to tell him much. So he started to think about her, and then about the pale, fragile, frightened little girl who was her secretary, and then about her son - which led him to the gambler, and then to the gambler's lustful wife and then to the elegant blackmailer. And so this case became a study of character, for even when murder was done, even after the second murder, character was the root of everything. An incredibly clever thriller where you won't see the ending coming.
