'The new crime and espionage series from Penguin Classics makes for
a mouth-watering prospect' Daily Telegraph Maude Slocum is in
trouble. But luckily trouble is Investigator Lew Archer's business.
A well-dressed, wealthy woman has arrived at Archer's L.A. office,
having intercepted a poison pen letter accusing her of adultery.
Reluctantly agreeing to help her find the culprit, he dives into
the Slocums' moneyed, oil-rich California world. But when Maude's
mother-in-law is found dead in the swimming pool, secrets come to
the surface too. For the urbane, world-weary Archer, a case of
blackmail soon becomes murder.
