Description
Lew Archer's latest case takes an unexpected turn when he becomes embroiled in the investigation into a child's abduction. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies that lead him to confront his own troubled past. A forest fire rages in the hills around Los Angeles, threatening the homes of some of the city's wealthiest families, but Archer's attention is focused on a different kind of blaze - one that burns within a man consumed by a search for his long-lost father. This gripping mystery showcases Ross Macdonald's masterful storytelling and nuanced characterization. With its credible and humane hero, this Lew Archer mystery offers a fresh perspective on the hard-boiled genre, one that has earned praise from celebrated writers such as William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman, Eudora Welty, and Elmore Leonard.
