Find A Victim.

JOHN ROSS MACDONALD

Publication: Alfred A Knopf, 1954, New York

First edition. 8vo. Bookplate on front fly leaf, an old, light water stain that appears faintly to top edges, and a few pages carelessly opened, else a very good copy in dust jacket with an old 1" x 1/4" water stain to top edge of front panel else a completely intact dust jacket. Archer found him in a ditch beside the highway, a young Spanish- American blowing small bubbles of blood. Tony died in the Las Cruces hospital within an hour. This begins a story of crime and intrigue that moves like lightning through California's rich and brawling Central Valley. It involves a call-girl who grew up too early and a judge's daughter that grew up too late, a sheriff caught between two passions and a woman who becomes the victim of her own murderous wish. As Archer fights his way into the case, he finds the key to the murder in the disappearance of a beautiful woman. Housed in a cloth slipcase.
