Hired by Carl Hallman, the desperate-eyed junkie scion of an
obscenely wealthy political dynasty, detective Lew Archer
investigates the suspicious deaths of his parents, Senator Hallman
and his wife Alicia. Arriving in the sleepy town of Purissima,
Archer discovers that orange groves may be where the Hallmans made
their mint, but they've has been investing heavily in political
intimidation and police brutality to shore up their rancid wealth.
However, after years of dastardly double-crossing and low down
dirty-dealing, the family seem to be on the receiving end of a
karmic death-blow. With two dead already and another consigned to
the nuthouse, Archer races to crack the secret before another
Hallman lands on the slab.Murder, madness and greed grace "The
Doomsters," where a tony facade masks the rot and corruption
within.
