Review:

" The best novel in the tough tradition I've read since "Farewell, My Lovely" and possibly since "The Maltese Falcon,""
-- Anthony Boucher, "The New York Times Book Review"
" The greatest American mystery novelist. Macdonald imbued the mystery with the qualities of a full-bodied novel: impeccable plotting, a sense of place, a careful delineation of human psychology, and a perfect fusion of story and character."
-- Richard North Patterson
" Ross Macdonald gives to the detective story that accent of class that Raymond Chandler did."
-- The Chicago Tribune
