I can't remember--does the Op have his own car? Is it
mentioned what kind it is? I noticed while watching THE
MALTESE FALCON that Spade gets around only in cabs, which I
bet must have been pretty easy in downtown San Francisco back
then. Marlowe does a fair bit of driving in all his books, as
I recall, and so do Lew Archer and most everyone else. Matt
Scudder walks or takes cabs or the subway, but he's in
central New York.
