In this classic hardboiled mystery, private investigator Lew Archer is hired by a woman in a wealthy California town to find the source of a vicious anonymous letter. The case quickly spirals into a dark web of family secrets, greed, and murder when his client’s mother-in-law is found dead at the bottom of her pool. This Penguin Modern Classics edition highlights Macdonald’s skill in blending the gritty detective genre with deep psychological insight, exploring how the sins of the past inevitably haunt the present.
