Synopsis Marlowe's client, Mrs. Murdock, is a wealthy widow whose antique gold coin has been stolen. As the story unwinds, it's clear that Mrs. Murdock's actions belie her posh surroundings. Chandler draws on his characteristic conflict between the Haves (the clients) and the Have-Nots (Marlowe) in his exploration of greed, trust, love and power in a plot which bears some resemblance to "Gaslight".
