Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderley to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby.

Reviews
Good book for the time it was written
4By Lamborghini fanaticA great story that uses a good plot to make up for its lack of character development. If you like intriguing detective stories with twists and turns, this is for you.
