In this book, the second novel featuring PI Philip Marlowe, we meet Marlowe as he tries to trace the whereabouts of a young woman. His search will take him on a journey through the bars and saloons of Hollywood into high society and the corridors of power.
It's a good story, well told, and even though it didn't quite match the Big Sleep, it's an enjoyable book from the master of crime ficton.
