Two old ladies who had never met and whose lives were very different. This is the story of how those lives came together. 中文簡介 中文簡介： 私家偵探Nathan Marley同時接了兩個不同的案子，一個案子是一位無家可歸的女性想要尋找她失蹤的兒子；一位是富有卻古怪的寡婦委託，同樣的時間，紐約最有錢與最貧窮的女性同時委託Nathan Marley替她們辦事，不過在偵察的過程中卻面臨了危險的處境。本書以富有與貧窮兩種不同世界衍生的罪惡事件讓《High Life, Low Life》成為一本好看的推理小說。 Main Characters Nat Marley: New York private investigator Stella Delgado: Nat Marley’s personal assistant Annie Clayton: a homeless woman Mrs. Joanna Whittaker: a rich widow Martha Bianchi: Mrs. Whittaker’s maid Charlie Whittaker: Mrs. Whittaker’s son Betty Osborne: Mrs. Whittaker’s daughter Main Characters Wilma Patterson: a lawyer Jackie Robinson Clayton: Annie Clayton’s son Ernie Wiseman : a criminal Captain Oldenberg: detective with the New York Police Department (NYPD) Joe Blaney: colleague of Nat Marley, ex-NYPD Dr. Fischer: a doctor at Bellevue Hospital My Impression In my opinion, having lots of money doesn’t mean everything in lives.
