Description
The Galton Case is a devious and poetic exploration of poverty, greed, murder, and identity. When Anthony Galton vanished twenty years ago, his mother now seeks his return, but the truth behind his disappearance proves far more complex.
A headless skeleton, a clever con, and a terrified blonde are just a few of the clues that Lew Archer must unravel to uncover the truth. As he delves deeper into the case, the stakes become increasingly high, revealing a game where someone is willing to kill.
