Recommended reading - Black Money, by Ross Macdonald (1966):

Black Money

By Ross Macdonald.

Vintage Crime/Black Lizard.

Published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.

First published 1966.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 0679768106

ISBN-13: 978-0679768104

Description:

“A Beautiful job … rich in plot and character…. The denouement is both surprising and shocking and the whole is up to Mr. Macdonald’s extraordinarily high standards.” – The New York Time Book Review.

When Lew Archer is hired to get the goods on the suspiciously suave Frenchman who's run off with his client's girlfriend, it looks like a simple case of alienated affections. Things look different when the mysterious foreigner turns out to be connected to a seven-year-old suicide and a mountain of gambling debts. Black Money is Ross Macdonald at his finest, baring the skull beneath the untanned skin of Southern California's high society.

“It was not just that Ross Macdonald taught is how to write; he taught us how to read, and how to think about life, and maybe in some small but mannered way, how to live.” – Robert B. Parker.

If any writer can be said to have inherited the mantle of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, it was Ross Macdonald. Between the late 1940s and his death in 1983, he gave the American crime novel a psychological depth and moral complexity that his predecessors had only hinted at. And in the character of Lew Archer, Macdonald redefined the private eye as a roving conscience who walks the treacherous frontier between criminal guilt and human sin.

Steven Spielberg, on movies and stories:

The older I get, the more I look at movies as a moving miracle.

Audiences are harder to please if you're just giving them special effects ...

but they're easy to please if it's a good story.
