RAYMOND CHANDLER'S TROUBLE IS MY BUSINESS

1940s L.A. A sour-faced millionaire hires Philip Marlowe, a hard-boiled, harder-drinking detective, to scare off a suspected gold digger who has gotten her claws into his even wealthier stepson. Marlowe takes the case but discovers that the woman, Harriett Huntress, isn't just after gold: she's playing a long, cold game of revenge.
