The Chill A Lew Archer Novel

"The American private eye, immortalized by Hammett, refined by Chandler, brought to its zenith by MacDonald." -- The New York Times Book Review

"An entertainment of almost Byzantine complexity in which practically nothing is as the facts would seem. . . . Highly satisfactory." -- The New Yorker

"Lew Archer . . . is a crime-fighter of the old school; painstakingly searching out the twisting thread of suspense that leads him from the hint of one complicated drama to another." -- Christian Science Monitor
