When private investigator Lew Archer is hired to get the goods on the suspiciously suave Frenchman who's run off with his client's girlfriend, it looks like a simple case of alienated affections. Things look different when the mysterious foreigner turns out to be connected to a seven-year-old suicide and a mountain of gambling debts.

Black Money is Ross Macdonald at his finest, baring the skull beneath the suntanned skin of Southern California's high society.

      A wealthy young man hires private eye Lew Archer to uncover a mystery man's secrets and protect a friend from a bad marriage. Archer's investigation puts him on the trail of money acquired through tax evasion--"black money." Grover Gardner's voice is clear and tough, a natural for the hard-boiled first-person narrative. Macdonald's story--involving gambling debts, murder, sex, and blackmail--is as satisfyingly gritty as one expects, including the twisted family histories of wealthy Californians in the '60s. Gardner's narration makes it all lively and fresh, rather than a nostalgic relic. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
