Black Money.

ROSS MACDONALD

Publication: Knopf, 1966, New York

First edition. 8vo. Inscribed by the author to poet Donald Davie and his wife, "Santa Barbara, Calif. Jan. 10, 1966. For Donald and Doreen [Davie], with love and admiration, Ken." Davie taught briefly at the University of California/Santa Barbara and the two authors became friends during that time. Fine in dust jacket with one tiny rub at head of spine. Lew Archer is hired to find out the truth about a suspiciously suave Frenchman who has run off with his client's girlfriend, it looks like a simple enough case. But things start to look very different when Archer connects the elusive foreigner to a seven-year-old suicide and a mountain of gambling debts.
