Goldfish by Raymond Chandler

A former jewel thief is pulled back into the criminal underworld when he’s asked to track down a set of stolen pearls. As he works his way through shady contacts and old grudges, he realizes he’s being played from all sides. The plot is full of sharp dialogue, grim humor, and double-crosses. A gritty Chandler short with all the noir trademarks. In a world of crooks, trust is the rarest currency.
