Summary

Five hundred bucks doesn't come easily for private eye Philip Marlowe. But when it comes by way of a bribe, it might as well be five cents. He rejects Winslow Wong and his offer of cash--and Wong promptly karates the detective's office into a junk pile. In this colorful whodunit, Garner's easygoing style contrasts agreeably with the grim task of sleuthing a case of missing persons, blackmail and icepick murders, in a sprawling '60s L.A. so hard-boiled somebody's got to crack. And when that happens, it's Marlowe's job to put the pieces together.--Adapted from case
