A private detective is hired to handle a blackmailer preying on a dying man's wild daughter, and the case leaves nearly everyone it touches dead while the family's worst secret stays buried.

You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that.
The Big Sleep, Raymond Chandler
