Ross Macdonald was in his prime in the 1960s, creating complex but believable stories with his seemingly effortless touch at dialogue and simile. Black Money is no exception and has the added advantage of containing a brief statement of Lew Archer's credo: I like people, and I try to help them. Archer is the best fictional detective I've ever encountered, with Maigret a close second.
