Review
My favorite . . . [Macdonald] is first among those novelists who raised the genre from its roots in pulp fiction to serious literature. P.D. James, from Talking About Detective Fiction
[The] American private eye, immortalized by Hammett, refined by Chandler, brought to its zenith by Macdonald. _New York Times Book Review_
Macdonald should not be limited in audience to connoisseurs of mystery fiction. He is one of a handful of writers in the genre whose worth and quality surpass the limitations of the form. _Los Angeles Times_
Most mystery writers merely write about crime. Ross Macdonald writes about sin. _The Atlantic_
Without in the least abating my admiration for Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, I should like to venture the heretical suggestion that Ross Macdonald is a better novelist than either of them. Anthony Boucher
[Macdonald] carried form and style about as far as they would go, writing classic family tragedies in the guise of private detective mysteries. _The Guardian_ (London)
[Ross Macdonald] gives to the detective story that accent of class that the late Raymond Chandler did. _Chicago Tribune_
Product Description
It was a long way from the million-dollar Foothill Club to Pelly Street, where grudges were settled in blood and Spanish and a stolen diamond ring landed a girl in jail. Defense lawyer Bill Gunnarson was making the tripfast. He already knew a kidnapping at the club was tied to the girl's hot rock, and he suspected that a missing Hollywood starlet was the key to a busy crime ring. But while Gunnarson made his way through a storm of deception, money, drugs, and passions, he couldn't guess how some big shots and small-timers would all end up with murder in common...
