Investigate the mysterious circumstances of a young lounge singer's husband...
When you approach Hope the Lounge Singer, she's in an argument with some guy. You listen for a moment, and then interrupt. Their argument ends on a tense note, and he leaves. She will ask you for a Lighter, and dialogue will close. Talk with her again when you have a Lighter, and you will engage in longer dialogue to get this assignment to play detective for her.
After Hope, go to the Police Station and dialogue with Sheriff Andrew Hayden. Figure out the victim's name and occupation, and then end dialogue with Hayden via the correct dialogue option. If you do this correctly, the other two detectives will dialogue with you. If they don't talk to you, then go back and try again with Hayden, and remember to end dialogue via dialogue (don't just hit ESC to close dialogue).
After Hayden, tell the first detective about the victim's name and occupation. Then talk with the other detective, and you get into a fight with him. A gunshot rings out! He settles down, and you're sent to the Bunker Bar (under the Maltese Falcon).
Talk with Vasquez in the Bunker Bar, and pressure him for the killer's name. Report back to Hayden. You can go toss your fancy hat on stage and Hope will pick it up and put it on.
NOTE: Once this case is closed, you can continue on the "Detective Quest-line" with Too Much Blood and Broken Bones in Shady Sands' Police Station. Your first step there is to return to Hope and recover your fancy hat.
