Description
The Drowning Pool by Ross Macdonald A poison pen letter sets off a chain of events when a wealthy woman, Maude Slocum, visits Investigator Lew Archer's office. Archer agrees to help her find the culprit, but soon finds himself entangled in a complex web of secrets and blackmail. When Maude's mother-in-law is found dead in the swimming pool, the case takes a deadly turn. As Archer delves deeper into the Slocums' world, he uncovers a tangled network of relationships and motives. With the lines between truth and deception blurred, Archer must navigate the treacherous waters of California's elite to uncover the truth. A gripping mystery that explores the darker side of wealth and privilege, The Drowning Pool is a tense and suspenseful tale of murder, blackmail, and the corrupting influence of power.
