La première fois que Marlowe vit Terry Lennox, visage jeune et cheveux blancs, il était fin soûl dans une Rolls Royce Silver Wraith. La fille à ses côtés, chevelure d'un magnifique blond vénitien, sourire vague aux lèvres, portait sur les épaules un vison si prestigieux que, près de lui, la Rolls ne semblait plus qu'un tacot de série. Cette amitié spontanée de Marlowe pour cet ancien commando au charisme énigmatique amène le privé à passer des frontières que son métier rendait a priori infranchissables. Terry Lennox n'a pas fini de le surprendre. S'il est innocent des crimes dont on l'accuse, il est aussi le centre d'un jeu mortel où la tragédie triomphe sans égale.
