Ross MacDonald: The Galton Case (UK 2012) From the Publisher: The Galton Case is a wonderfully devious and poetic look at poverty, greed, murder and identity. Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer mysteries rewrote the conventions of the detective novel with their credible, humane hero, and with Macdonald's insight and moral complexity won new literary respectability for the hardboiled genre previously pioneered by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. They have also received praise from such celebrated writers as William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman, Eudora Welty and Elmore Leonard. Ross MacDonald: The Galton Case. Penguin, ISBN: 9780141196633 (July, 2012), 275 p., £8.99, eBook £5.50.
