When a millionaire matriarch is found floating face down in the family pool, the prime suspects are her good-for-nothing son and his wife, who stand to inherit, as well as a questionable chauffeur and a tycoon of a company trying to get the woman’s property for the oil under it. Private Investigator Lew Archer takes this case in the Los Angeles suburbs and encounters a moral wasteland of corporate greed and family hatred—and sufficient motive for a dozen murders.
This classic hard-boiled mystery, the second featuring P.I. Lew Archer, holds up well more than fifty years after its first appearance. A woman who has received a blackmail letter hires Archer; the case involves him in intrigue, death, and twisted relationships among family members and lovers. The well-drawn characters involve the listener, and only references to prices and technology remind us that the story features a different time.
Ross Macdonald is popularly considered the third figure of the holy trinity of American crime writing, joining Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. To this day, many people call his Lew Archer detective series the greatest of all time
