The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

"I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars."

Los Angeles private investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by the wheelchair-bound General Sternwood to uncover the source of a dangerous blackmail scheme. Tasked with solving a case that begins with a desperate, broken old man—and complicated by Sternwood’s two wild, devil-may-care daughters prowling the seedy backstreets of LA—Marlowe soon finds himself entangled in a labyrinth of deceit, betrayal, and even death.

Regarded as a cornerstone of crime fiction, "The Big Sleep" introduces the iconic, laconic Marlowe, whose gritty determination and sharp wit have set the standard for generations of detectives.
