The Underground Man cover

Private Detective Lew Archer doesn’t believe in coincidences…


A forest fire has mysteriously broken out in the hills above southern California. Meanwhile, Lew Archer has been asked by a desperate mother to find her six-year-old son. Instead, he discovers the boy’s wealthy father, murdered, and buried in a hole in the ground. The mystery will lead Archer to unearth a tragic, years-old history of abandonment, obsession and illusion, where the past won’t let go of the present – and everything is connected.

I love the Lew Archer books. -- James Ellroy
The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American. -- William Goldman
