In the four long stories in this collection, Marlowe is hired to protect a rich old guy from a gold digger, runs afoul of crooked politicos, gets a line on some stolen jewels with a reward attached, and stumbles across a murder victim who may have been an extortionist.
If you like hard-boiled detectives and short stories, this is the book for you...filled with tons of slang and plenty of mystery.
