Lew Archer #6

This is the first and most likely the only book I have (or will) read by this author. This book has been in a random TBR stack for many many years. It was published in 1956 and is a product of its time. If you like your detectives "hard boiled" then Lew is the PI for you--but not really for me. If Lew is not getting beat up--he is beating up somebody else, in between rounds of heavy drinking. That said Mr. MacDonald is a master at his craft.
