The Galton Case.

ROSS MACDONALD

Publication: Alfred A Knopf, 1959, New York

First edition. Fine, bright, tight copy in dust jacket with light professional internal restoration to head of spine. Twenty years ago, Anthony Galton vanished, along with his streetwise bride and several thousand dollars of the Galton fortune. Now his dying mother wants him found, and Lew Archer is on the case: is Anthony hiding somewhere, happy and eager not to be discovered? But what Archer finds - a headless skeleton, a clever con and a terrified blonde - reveals a game whose stakes are so high that someone is willing to kill.
