Underground Man - Softcover
As a mysterious fire rages through an affluent community in Southern California, Lew Archer tracks a missing--and possibly kidnapped--child and uncovers and entire secret history of wayward parents, wounded offspring, and murder. Along with its merciless suspense, The Underground Man possesses a moral vision as complex as that of a classic Greek tragedy.

Review:
"A more serious and complex writer than Chandler and Hammett ever were."- Eudora Welty "Ross Macdonald is an important American novelist!"- San Francisco Chronicle "I should like to venture that Ross Macdonald is a better novelist than either... Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler."- Anthony Boucher, The New York Times Book Review
