Description

Private Detective Lew Archer is on the case when a forest fire breaks out in the hills above southern California. But it's not the only mystery he's investigating - a desperate mother has asked him to find her six-year-old son. Instead, he discovers the boy's wealthy father, murdered, and buried in a hole in the ground. As Archer delves deeper, he uncovers a tragic history of abandonment, obsession, and illusion that refuses to let the past stay buried. The investigation leads Archer to a tangled web of connections between the present and the past. He must navigate a complex landscape of secrets and lies to uncover the truth. But as he digs deeper, he realizes that nothing is as it seems, and the truth is more sinister than he ever imagined. A gripping mystery that explores the darker side of human nature, The Underground Man is a gripping and suspenseful read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
