The Underground Man

Ross MacDonald: The Underground Man (UK 2012)

From the Publisher:
When a chance encounter makes him a witness to the abduction of a child, private detective Lew Archer can't help but be drawn into the case, pursuing a trail that leads all too quickly to murder. While forest fires rage in the hills around Los Angeles, threatening the homes of some of the city's wealthiest families, Archer unearths a hidden history of failed marriages, runaway children, and a man's life consumed by a search for the father who abandoned him.

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.

The Underground Man

Ross MacDonald: The Underground Man (USA 1985)

From the Publisher:
Lew Archer wouldn't touch a case like this for money. He took it because he was a little in love with a lady. Her husband had run off with their six-year-old son - and a sexy teenaged blond. Now the trio had disappeared. and a forest fire was raging through the California canyon where they were last seen. To Archer even the sky looked scorched, but the taste of ashes in his mouth came from seeing the murdered man lying in the still warm ground... and feeling the cold of a .38 pressed against his head.

ROSS MACDONALD
Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award, Ross Macdonald is acknowledged around the world as one of the greatest mystery writers of our time.

The Underground Man

Ross MacDonald: The Underground Man (USA 1971)

From the Publisher:
The Underground Man is Ross Macdonald at his most brilliant and brilliantly exciting. It is his first new novel since the best-selling and widely acclaimed The Goodbye Look -- and it may well be the finest novel in what The New York Times has called "the finest series of detective novels ever written by an American."

The Underground Man brings Macdonald's cool, pragmatic detective, Lew Archer, to a tragic fire that ravages a hillside community in Southern California. It enmeshes him in the lives of a group of troubled people searching for happy endings but fatally entangled in a web of murder and extortion stretching back through fifteen years -- an angry father whose whole life has been a kind of breakdown, a mother using her son as a scapegoat, a pair of alienated adolescents who believe they are rescuing a child from the adult world, and a sad woman living with a dreadful secret. The result is a novel that mingles unfaltering suspense with that extraordinary perception of an American life-style (West Coast Affluent) that is the hallmark of Ross Macdonald.

Ross MacDonald: The Underground Man. The first Lew Archer novel since the best-selling The Goodbye Look. Alfred A Knopf, SBN: 394-43467-6 (February, 1971), 272 p., $5.95.
