The Big Sleep

Work:: The Big Sleep (S0949179291)

"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, an ailing old man. He has two beautiful sexy daughters - one a high-living gambler, the other a fast-living rebel. The General is being blackmailed, and to stop the malicious threats hires Phillip Marlowe, a Private Eye with a dislike for guns but a liking for smart dangerous women. Marlowe is soon immersed in a world of deceit and double-cross. And then he stumbles across the first corpse ... "Neither of the two people in the room paid any attention to the way I came in, although only one of them was dead."
