Elizabeth Murdock, a wealthy widow, hires private investigator Philip Marlowe to look into the loss of a rare coin, the Brasher Doubloon, from her late husband’s personal collection. When Marlowe initially thinks the investigation is rather ordinary, a murder, a string of dubious personalities, and dangerous criminals soon face him.
