"She was last seen alive at the San Francisco docks, three months before Lew Archer was hired to search for her. The search lead him first to her family and her college friends, then far afield from the respectable and moneyed world where Phoebe had been brought up, into the criminal lower depths where life is valued lightly. Ross Macdonald's new book has the texture of a good novel; the characters, ranging from an oil millionaire to an unemployed actress writing her "true-confession" autobiography, are freshly seen; and, as always, with Ross Macdonald, the narrative is fast-paced, leading up to an explosive climax"--Half-title verso.
