The Underground Man

Ross Macdonald's wicked flair with titles, first apparent to me in The Ivory Grin, returns here. Again we have Lew Archer plunged into a case with a large cast in which secrets from the past open doors onto the present. A little violence here and there, snappy patter sprinkled throughout, and a thoroughly satisfying conclusion make The Underground Man a winner.
