When a chance encounter makes him a witness to the abduction of a child, private
detective Lew Archer can't help but be drawn into the case, pursuing a trail
that leads all too quickly to murder. While forest fires rage in the hills
around Los Angeles, threatening the homes of some of the city's wealthiest
families, Archer unearths a hidden history of failed marriages, runaway
children, and a man's life consumed by a search for the father who abandoned
him.
Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer mysteries rewrote the conventions of the detective
novel with their credible, humane hero, and with Macdonald's insight and moral
complexity won new literary respectability for the hardboiled genre previously
pioneered by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. They have also received
praise from such celebrated writers as William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman,
Eudora Welty and Elmore Leonard.
