small, neat, rather prissy-looking girl with primly smooth brown hair and rimless glasses.
She approaches the detective Marlowe to help her find her missing brother, but she can only afford to pay him $20. What Orfamay Quest doesn`t tell Marlowe is that her half-sister is a movie starlet with mob connections. This is the first Chandler novel concerned with the movie industry, a business he knew all too well. He is primarily interested in how the Hollywood mentality can affect people, even small-town folk from Kansas.
