Description:
In The Chill a
distraught young man hires Archer to track down his runaway bride. But no
sooner has he found Dolly Kincaid than Archer finds himself entangled in two
murders, one twenty years old, the other so recent that the blood is still wet.
What ensues is a detective novel of nerve-racking suspense, desperately
believable characters, and one of the most intricate plots ever spun by an
American crime writer.
"The
American private eye, immortalized by Hammett, refined by Chandler, brought to
its zenith by MacDonald."
– The New York Times Book Review.
"The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American."
– The New York Times.
