The Birds on the Wing

Hired to keep a reckless young millionaire out of trouble, private detective Philip Marlowe heads to a county fair where a daredevil parachute act hides more than cheap thrills. When one of the performers plunges to her death before a stunned crowd, Marlowe uncovers sabotage, jealousy, and murder behind the colorful spectacle. As rivalries and greed collide midair, Marlowe races to stop a killer before another fatal “accident” claims its next victim.
