Lew Archer, investigatore privato stanco del mondo, viene assunto da Larry e Irene Chalmers quando sospettano che il loro figlio problematico Nick sia coinvolto nel loro furto. Ma quando un collega investigatore, uno che ha lavorato con Nick, viene trovato morto, Archer capisce presto che non si tratta semplicemente di un bottino rubato. Per aiutare il figlio, Archer deve scoprire la verità su un rapimento avvenuto anni prima e scoprire perché la pistola di un omicidio vecchio di decenni apparentemente si ritrova a ogni nuovo e terribile omicidio. In The Goodbye Look, Ross Macdonald espone i danni che le famiglie possono causare l'una all'altra in nome dell'amore, delle bugie e dell'avidità. I misteri di Lew Archer di Ross Macdonald hanno riscritto le convenzioni del romanzo poliziesco con il loro eroe credibile e umano e con l'intuizione e la complessità morale di Macdonald hanno conquistato una nuova rispettabilità letteraria per il genere hardboiled precedentemente avviato da Dashiell Hammett e Raymond Chandler. Hanno ricevuto elogi anche da celebri scrittori come William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman, Eudora Welty ed Elmore Leonard.
