That's the simple part. It becomes more complicated when Marlowe finds that everyone who handles the coin suffers a run of very bad luck: they always end up dead. That's also unlucky for a private investigator, because leaving a trail of corpses around LA puts cops' noses seriously out of joint. If Marlowe doesn't wrap this one up fast, he's going to end up either in jail or in a wooden box in the ground . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e'Chandler's books should be read and judged, not as escapist literature, but as works of art' W.H.
