Sinossi
Quando Maude Slocum, bella, spaventata e arrabbiata, si presenta nell'ufficio di Lew Archer con una lettera scritta con una penna avvelenata e destinata al marito, lui accetta con riluttanza di aiutarla. Mentre segue gli Slocum, Archer scopre che la signora Slocum potrebbe avere il minimo dei problemi della famiglia: la figlia adolescente è desolata, il marito è nell'armadio e la suocera ha appena fatto una brutta fine in piscina. Ma perché il loro bel ex autista è ancora in giro? E cosa c'entra la sinistra Pacific Refinery Company con tutto questo spargimento di sangue? The Drowning Pool è l'avvincente racconto di adulterio, gelosia, omicidio e bugie di Ross Macdonald. 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 sperimentato da Dashiell Hammett e Raymond Chandler. Hanno anche ricevuto elogi da scrittori celebri come William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman, Eudora Welty ed Elmore Leonard.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When Maude Slocum - beautiful, frightened and angry - comes to Lew Archer's office with a poison pen letter intended for her husband, he reluctantly agrees to help her. As he follows the Slocums around, Archer finds that Mrs Slocum might have the least of the family's troubles: her teenage daughter is desolate, her husband is in the closet and her mother-in-law has just come to an unpleasant end in the swimming pool. But why is their handsome ex-chauffeur still hanging around? And what does the sinister Pacific Refinery Company have to do with the all the bloodshed? The Drowning Pool is Ross Macdonald's gripping tale of adultery, jealousy, murder and lies. Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer mysteries rewrote the conventions of the detective novel with their credible, humane hero, and with Macdonald's insight and moral complexity won new literary respectability for the hardboiled genre previously pioneered by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. They have also received praise from such celebrated writers as William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman, Eudora Welty and Elmore Leonard. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004121374
