Description
A hardboiled story of abduction and murder in the Los Angeles hills.
Private Detective Lew Archer doesn't believe in coincidences...
A forest fire has mysteriously broken out in the hills above southern California. Meanwhile, Lew Archer has been asked by a desperate mother to find her six-year-old son. Instead, he discovers the boy's wealthy father, murdered, and buried in a hole in the ground.
The mystery will lead Archer to unearth a tragic, years-old history of abandonment, obsession and illusion, where the past won't let go of the present—and everything is connected.
The Underground Man takes readers on a gripping journey through layers of deception and hidden truths.
