When the ailing millionaire Old Man Sternwood hires private detective Philip Marlowe to uncover the blackmailer threatening one of his rebellious daughters, Marlowe steps into a tangled web far darker than mere extortion.
Kidnapping, illicit pornography, and dangerous seductions complicate the case at every turn. Just as Marlowe begins to take control, he stumbles upon the first corpse—pulling him deeper into a deadly mystery where nothing is as it seems.
