The Galton Case
Ross Macdonald
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
<p>Almost twenty years have passed since Anthony Galton disappeared, along with a suspiciously streetwise bride and several thousand dollars of his family's fortune. Now Anthony's mother wants him back and has hired Lew Archer to find him. What turns up is a headless skeleton, a boy who claims to be Galton's son, and a con game whose stakes are so high that someone is still willing to kill for them. Devious and poetic, <b>The Galton Case</b> displays MacDonald at the pinnacle of his form.<br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i></br></br></p>
