In 'The Goodbye Look', Ross Macdonald introduces us to Lew Archer, a private detective hired by Larry and Irene Chalmers, who suspect that their troubled son Nick is involved in their own burglary. However, when a fellow investigator who has been working with Nick turns up dead, Archer realizes that this is not simply about some stolen loot. To help their son, Archer must uncover the truth about a kidnapping that occurred years ago and discover why the handgun from a decades-old murder turns up at every new and terrible crime. Macdonald exposes the damage that families can cause one another in the name of love, lies, and greed.
Kenneth Millar, known mainly by the pseudonym Ross Macdonald, was an American-Canadian writer of crime fiction. He is best known for his series of hardboiled novels set in Southern California and featuring private detective Lew Archer. Since the 1970s, Macdonald's works have received attention in academic circles for their psychological depth, sense of place, use of language, sophisticated imagery and integration of philosophy into genre fiction. Brought up in the province of Ontario, Canada, Macdonald eventually settled in the state of California, where he died in 1983.
