When a millionaire matriarch is found floating face down in the family pool, the prime suspects are her good-for-nothing son and his wife, who stand to inherit, as well as a questionable chauffeur and a tycoon of a company trying to get the woman’s property for the oil under it.
Private Investigator Lew Archer takes this case in the Los Angeles suburbs and encounters a moral wasteland of corporate greed and family hatred—and sufficient motive for a dozen murders.

“Fast moving, smoothly written, first-rate whodunit of the hard-boiled school.”
(New York Times Book Review)“Macdonald picked up the baton dropped by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and took the genre to new heights…The Drowning Pool returns to…the complex and compelling plotting, psychological depth, just enough mayhem, and highly economical prose.”
(Amazon.com)“Archer solves crimes with the instincts of a psychologist and the conscience of a priest, and the mid-twentieth-century Southern California setting is a wonderful ride in the Wayback Machine.”
(Los Angeles Times, praise for the series)“The plots involve murder, deceit, blackmail, sex, and all those other goodies that make for great crime stories.”
(Library Journal, praise for the series)“Ross Macdonald remains the grandmaster, taking the crime novel to new heights by imbuing it with psychological resonance, complexity of story, and richness of style.”
(Jonathan Kellerman, New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author)“[Grover Gardner]’s narration perfectly captures Archer’s world-weary persona and is by turns crisp, sardonic, and wry…Only references to prices and technology remind us that the story features a different time.”
