Plot Summary of The Hard Goodbye
"Basin City is dark, dangerous and generally nasty sort of place where the women are either prostitutes or table dancers and the men are either vicious, brutal murderers or good-hearted, brutal murderers, according to the storyline.

Marv falls into the second catergory. He is an ugly, brutish-looking ex-con with a heart of gold. One night a beautiful girl who calls herself Goldie comes for him, asking for help in exchange for her spending the night with him. He, of course, excepts. After a night of intimate love making, Marv wakes up to find Goldie lying dead next to him. He then vows to find her killer and treat him to a slow, painful and messy death. The only problem is, he's been framed for her murder. With the cops after him, he launches into a roaring rampage of revenge. Using his own brutal brand of persuasion, he gets the information he needs and discovers that what he thought was just a simple murder, is actually something much more sinister, as the horrific secrets of a haunting farm on the outskirts of the city come to light.
