by Ross Macdonald ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 17, 1957
Private eye Archer takes the case of mentally disturbed Carl Hallman and is confronted by past family problems as well as current murder. Safeguarding Carl's wife, attempting to keep Carl from being killed by trigger-happy California police, Archer gets a grim look at two earlier killings and is faced with an immediate fourth. His own involuntary involvement is not a nice balance for the outcome. Plain speaking.
