TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisLew Archer is hired to retrieve a stolen canvas reputed to be the work of Richard Chantry, who vanished in 1950 from his home. As he pursues the Chantry portrait, and the larger mystery of Richard Chantry, Archer himself is shaken as never before.
Ross MacDonald was the greatest detective fiction author of his generation. He came after Chandler and Hammett. His stories have literary merit, they are absorbing and surprising. I love all of his books. "The Blue Hammer" is one of his later books and lives up to his high standard. Love it. Thanks so much for making a first edition affordable.
