"Marlowe, against his better judgement, accepts two missing-person cases, the first, a daughter of a faded, tyrannical Hollywood starlet, and the second, a British child stolen from his mother by his father. As he plunges deeper into each case, disconcerting details emerge, and Marlowe begins to suspect that both clients are withholding crucial information ... As he navigates each investigation, he must also confront an old but familiar ache: his troubled and confounding relationship with his father"--Dust jacket flap.
