Description
Johnny Weatherly returns to his hometown after a war, only to discover that his father's murder has shaken the town. His father's seductive young wife has inherited a fortune, and Johnny sets out to uncover the truth behind his father's death. As he delves into the dark underworld of gamblers, whores, drug-dealers, and blackmailers, Johnny must confront his own rage, courage, and lost illusions. With no clear leads and a complex web of suspects, Johnny's quest for justice becomes a personal vendetta against the brutal forces that have taken over his hometown. In this gripping hard-boiled mystery, Ross Macdonald masterfully weaves together a tale of revenge, redemption, and the corrupting influence of power.
