Description:
In this short story from
Ross Macdonald’s The Archer Files, detective Lew Archer stops in town to
look in on an old army buddy, an artist, only to find that he has mysteriously
disappeared. Seemingly the only clue is a disturbing charcoal sketch of a woman
with a thick beard sitting in his studio. As Archer finds himself drawn into
the investigation, it soon becomes clear that things are not what they seem.
And that no one is above suspicion.
