Philip Marlowe: The Long Rope

When Sydney Venetta, a sick old man, wants to hire Phil to transport an expensive rope of pearls to Chicago, Marlowe discovers his new client dead and the pearls missing when he arrives at Venetta's home.

As Phil begins to look into matters, his attention is drawn to the old man's nurse and business agent.  Also suspect is Venetta's niece, who, when Phil arrived at her studio found her: "A dainty 118 pounds of taboo scented blonde, clad in ten chartreuse yards of silk cut like lounging pajamas."
