Publisher Description
Lew Archer didn't like his client, J. Reginald Harlan, M.A. Of course Archer generally didn't like people whose names started with a single syllable. Harlan hired Lew to find his sister. A respectable school mistress that has run off with a bohemian artist type. But he finds more than what he expected when he has a corpse litterally dumped on him!
Customer Reviews
A Twisted Tale...
Excellent writing, casual dialog, fun plot twists and turns. Evocative of times past in Los Angeles. Gritty Lew Archer takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'! Good read...
The Imaginary Blonde
It is too bad Macdonald's novels aren't available. This story and "The GUilty Ones" read like practice runs by the master. The writing is vivid enough to carry you to the end, but the characters don't have the depth that made novels like The Underground Man and The Chill so great.
