The Little Sister by Raymond Chandler. Paperback edition published by Penguin in1961 (reprint).

Her name is Orfamay Quest and she's come all the way from Manhattan, Kansas, to find her missing brother Orrin. Or least ways that's what she tells PI Philip Marlowe, offering him a measly twenty bucks for the privilege. But Marlowe's feeling charitable - though it's not long before he wishes he wasn't so sweet. You see, Orrin's trail leads Marlowe to luscious movie starlets, uppity gangsters, suspicious cops and corpses with ice picks jammed in their necks. When trouble comes calling, sometimes it's best to pretend to be out...

Very good general condition. Pages a little yellowed but clean and tightly bound. Slight tanning but very little creasing or wear to the covers or spine. A very nice vintage copy.
