Carter Brown Mysteries - The Lady was Lethal

Private Investigator Johnny Eaton and Police Lieutenant Jorgenson are in the city morgue to identify Hank Williams, Eaton's former partner in their Private Investigation business. Hank had been killed because he had discovered "something big", meaning some important information that was very valuable to someone. The problem was that Hank normally kept the information to himself, rarely writing anything down on paper. When Eaton got back to their office, he searched for anything that could help him discover what Hank was working on, but it was to no avail. He then decided it was time for a drink. He found a dive bar and ordered one. Soon a stranger sits down next to him and asks "how much?" Eaton says "how much for what?" The stranger says "how much for the information your partner had. Name your price."
