The Lew Archer Series - Book 13
Black Money
“A beautiful job…rich in plot and character…The denouement is both surprising and shocking, and the whole is up to Mr. Macdonald’s extraordinarily high standards.”
New York Times Book Review
A 2010 Audie Award Finalist for Best Mystery Narration
A Los Angeles Times Pick of the Best Mystery Series
When private investigator Lew Archer is hired to get the goods on the suspiciously suave Frenchman who's run off with his client's girlfriend, it looks like a simple case of alienated affections. Things look different when the mysterious foreigner turns out to be connected to a seven-year-old suicide and a mountain of gambling debts.
Black Money is Ross Macdonald at his finest, baring the skull beneath the suntanned skin of Southern California's high society.
