Everybody knew who had stolen it, but nobody was anxious to do anything about it. Marlowe couldn't understand why the old lady had hired him; she didn't seem to like detectives and she didn't want to furnish much information. 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.." [Quoted from the back cover]. Good .
