| From the first page of Fontana Books edition: 'Lew Archer finds a young Spanish-American dying in a ditch beside the highway. So begins a story of crime and intrigue that moves like lightning through California's rich and riotous Central Valley. It involves a call-girl who grew up too early and a judge's daughter that grew up too late, a sheriff caught between two passions and a woman who becomes the victim of her own murderous wish. As Archer fights his way into the case, he finds the key to the murder in the disappearance of a beautiful woman.' |
