Lew Archer was hired to find Galley Lawrence. Her roommate described Galley as "crazy for men" and without discrimination. When last seen she was driving off with petty gangster Joe Tarantine. That fact led Lew to a mob boss who offered him 10 G's for Tarantine - dead or alive. And Archer had uses for ten grand so he took the job.
