Ross Macdonald: Four Later Novels

Meer over het boek

"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
