Very lonely, very dead. </b><b>The safe door was wide open. A metal drawer was pulled out. It was empty now. There may have been money in it once.''</b><br></i><br>Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe''s on a case: his client, a dried-up husk of a woman, wants him to recover a rare gold coin called a Brasher Doubloon, missing from her late husband''s collection. 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 . . .<br><br><b>''Chandler''
