Spade’s office is invaded by the stunning Miss Wonderly, who begins the novel. It turns out that she’s a knockout when it comes to making money, as well. She also wants to employ a private investigator to track down her sister, who allegedly went off with a thief named Thursby.
Neither Spade nor Miles Archer is convinced by her tale. Who cares, though, given the money she’s paying? Spade learns that he’s getting more than he bargained for when Archer and Thursby are killed. Miles is concerned about his relationship with Archer’s wife, Iva, and that the police will discover that he is having an affair with her.
After questioning Miss Wonderly about the two murders, Spade realizes that she has been lying about them all along: she has no sister, her real name is Brigid O’Shaughnessy, and Thursby was her former partner before she was killed.
In order to sell a jewel-encrusted falcon sculpture to her former gang: Casper Gutman (the head leader), Joel Cairo (his right-hand man), and Wilmer, Brigid entices Spade to join her (his hitman). Their tactics include tailing, drugging, mugging, and holding him at gunpoint in order to learn what he and Brigid know about the falcon’s whereabouts. Spade, on the other hand, is a shrew.
To verify the authenticity of the Maltese falcon’s history, he consults his loyal secretary, Effie Perrine.
