About this product

Product Information

In a rundown house in Santa Monica, Mrs. Samuel Lawrence presses fifty crumpled bills into Lew Archer's hand and asks him to find her wandering daughter, Galatea. Described as 'crazy for men' and without discrimination, she was last seen driving off with small-time gangster Joe Tarantine, a hophead hood with a rep for violence. Archer traces the hidden trail from San Francisco slum alleys to the luxury of Palm Springs, traveling through an urban wilderness of drugs and viciousness. As the bodies begin to pile up, he finds that even angel faces can mask the blackest of hearts.Filled with dope, delinquents and murder, this is classic Macdonald and one of his very best in the Lew Archer series.

    When Work Becomes A Killer

    P.I. work can be challenging, but Lew Archer wasn’t prepared… It all started out so simple, an over protective mother, looking for her adult missing daughter.

He agreed to do a little poking around if Mrs. Lawrence would pay him fifty dollars. But he was sure it would be a dead end. That was a bad call… Galley had left little behind to trace, but it was enough to get Lew started. It appeared she had unknowingly become involved with some unsavory characters. It was ...

    Hard Boiled detective novels

    If your a fan of this genre you can't go wrong with Ross McDonald. His protaganist Lew Archer is up in the patheon of great mystery detectives! Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, Lew Archer! Not as crazy or wacked out as say Jim Thompson, but very readable, compelling stories about LA, California, and the inherent human darkness in a very sunny state!
