From the back cover of Bantam edition, 16th printing:
''Rich boy Anthony Galton had dropped out of sight more than twenty years ago. To Lew Archer that meant the man was either dead or didn't want to be found. But Tony's nice old mother had a dream that her son would still come home before she died. So Archer took on the case hoping that Tony and Mom could live happily ever after... until he discovered that once upon a time there was a clever swindle, a scared blonde, and a very nasty murder.'

Trivia:
Millar attributed one of his own poems - written when he was 19 - to a character in the book, John Brown.
