From the back cover:
"'I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.'
The four million dollars is General Sternwood, a paralysed old man, already two-thirds dead. He has two beautiful daughters - one a gambler, the other a degenerate - and an elusive adventurer as a son-in-law. The General is being blackmailed and Marlowe's assignment is to get the blackmailer off his back. As it turns out there's a lot more at stake."
Received in a box of books from my mother-in-law, will be wild released.
