The Barbarous Coast

Description

In this gripping noir, private investigator Lew Archer is drawn into the opulent and morally ambiguous world of the Malibu jet set to find a missing young woman. As Archer delves deeper, he uncovers a tangled web of secrets, lies, and the corrosive influence of wealth that permeates the lives of the privileged. Ross Macdonald masterfully exposes the dark underbelly of California's elite, where truth is a commodity and innocence is a luxury few can afford. This novel is a sharp examination of decadence and the desperate pursuit of honor in a world determined to bury both.
