Publication: Alfred A Knopf, 1958, New York

First edition. Three small numbers stamped on front fly leaf, else fine in dust jacket lightly rubbed at spine ends and a few tiny nicks to to top edge of front cover. Lew Archer is hired by Carl Hallman, the desperate-eyed junkie scion of an obscenely wealthy political dynasty, to investigate the suspicious deaths of his parents, Senator Hallman and his wife Alicia. Archer soon discovers that orange groves may have been where the Hallmans made their money, but they'd invested heavily in political intimidation and police brutality to shore up their wealth. After years of double-crossing and dirty-dealing, the family seems to be on the receiving end of a death-blow. With two dead already and another member in the nuthouse, Archer races to crack the secret before another Hallman is murdered. Housed in a cloth slipcase.
