[edit] Plot summary
Orfamay Quest, the little sister of the title, hires Marlowe to find her brother Orrin, who has come from Manhattan, Kansas to work as an engineer for the Cal-Western Aircraft Company in Bay City. During his search for Orrin, Marlowe runs into movie starlets, gangsters, suspicious cops and, most disturbingly, corpses with ice-picks jammed in their necks.
