by John Ross Macdonald ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 9, 1954
Lew Archer heads into a payload when his samaritan gesture towards Tony Aquista leads the way to highjacking, drug running and an assortment of morally chilled characters. From the California motel, to a trucking company, to the Sheriff's love life, Archer detonates the potentials for violence with his unrestrained determination that crime will pay -- the penalty. A long haul here.
