An interesting archive. "…the finest series of detective novels ever written by an American." - NY Times. "Has T om Hillman run away from his exclusive reform school, or has he been kidnapped? Are his wealthy parents protecting him or their own guilty secrets? And why does every clue lead Lew Archer to an abandoned Hollywood hotel, where starlets and sailors o nce rubbed shoulders with grifters--and where the present clientele includes a brand-new corpse." - back cover paperback edition. "Ross Macdonald remains the grandmaster, taking the crime novel to new heights by imbuing it with psychological resona nce, complexity of story, and richness of style that remain awe inspiring. Those of us in his wake owe him a debt that can never be paid." Jonathan Kellerman.
