Unexpected Corruption.

The most engaging  plot, events and scenarios in this book are in the chapters 9-13 that keeps reader hooked up reading and desiring to know the exciting conclusion of the story. Contrary to chapter 14 which has a very disappointing and not satisfying ending. 
In these chapter we can mainly appreciate, the anxiety, suffering and repenting thought that Walter Huff carries on , when he is covering the murder to his co worker in the insurance company, authorities, and to the woman that he fell in love with, in this case Lola.
while reading  this engaging plot, the readers also starts to feel excitement when Walter star to put the pieces of the puzzle together, he discovered that if he wee to kill Phyllis, the would be nobody who knew about the murder, and he would be able to marry Lola. while all this is happening we can see how betrayal forms a very important plan. once he decides to kill Phyllis he tries to execute a plan, he wanted to throw her from a cliff, but once he gets there he get shot. he was betrayed by the woman, the made him commit a passional crime, not just for love but for money also. later on he wakes up on hospital filling pain on chest near his heart where the bullet hurt him, but that pain could also mean pain that he is being carrying on due to the murder that just made lose everything and inclusively that woman he love (Lola). by his side was the detective figure Mr. Keyes that was communicating him that they had the information that the people they needed to discover who was killer.(Lola, Nino, Phyllis). He said that Lola was one those people they had, he suddenly start to think that the authorities were going to hurt her, so, quietly and serious he surrender and confess Keyes that he kill the oil master Mr. Nirdlinger. 
Fianlly we get to the unexpected final that instead of exalting the plot by putting  a final scene  full of punishment and confinement in prison, we have this  Simple opaque ending where we see the moral Corruption, not just commig from walter or Phyllis, but from the cops and the Mr. Keyes that is the one that decides to let the free, change their identity and send them to another place. Here we can see the corruption of all the character and weird and dull ending that film noir present, but this liberty could also mean a new begging for them in which they can start a new life.
