Ross Macdonald: Four Later Novels

Mehr zum Buch

"In these four late masterpieces written in the period when he achieved lasting literary fame, Ross Macdonald sums up the themes that haunted him: the guilty secrets passed on within families, and the violence that can arise when those secrets refuse to remain buried. He brilliantly extends his portrait of Southern California as a land of seeming abundance racked by hidden obsessions and simmering discontents. These novels, and detective Lew Archer, Macdonald's greatest creation, remain unsurpassed in the canon of American crime fiction."-- Dust jacket back
