Phoebe Wycherly was missing two months before her wealthy father hired Lew Archer to find her.
That was plenty of time for a young girl who wanted to disappear to do so thoroughly—or for someone to make her disappear. And before he could locate the Wycherly girl, Archer had to reckon with the Wycherly woman, Phoebe’s mother, an eerily unmaternal blonde who kept too many residences, had too many secrets, and left too many corpses in her wake.

Critic Reviews
“Grover Gardner is ideal as the iconic Lew Archer…Gardner keeps it tense, dramatic, and thoroughly entertaining, his performance a perfect match for Macdonald’s pace and style. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
(AudioFile)“[A] fine example of noir hard-boiled mystery at its best. Audie® Award–winning experienced narrator Grover Gardner’s retro pace and spirit capture the bleak early 1960s on the Upper Peninsula of California from San Francisco down to the sleepy towns of Palo Alto and San Jose, pre-Silicon valley…Classic novel, classy reader.”
(Soundcommentary.com (starred review))“A fine yarn…The pace is fast, the plot well-knit with plenty of suspense and surprise as extra dividends.”
(Chicago Tribune)“Lew Archer [is] up to his neck in murder, kidnapping, and blackmail—just another day at the office. This is hard-boiled detective writing at the top of its form.”
(Library Journal)“Archer solves crimes with the instincts of a psychologist and the conscience of a priest, and the mid-twentieth-century Southern California setting is a wonderful ride in the Wayback Machine.”
(Los Angeles Times, praise for the series)
