«The Underground Man» is Ross Macdonald's detective novel, published by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard in paperback (288 pages, in English).
A fire in the hills of an affluent California town. Detective Lew Archer searches for a missing boy: perhaps he's a bargaining chip in his parents' divorce or a kidnapping victim. Among the ashes, he uncovers a murder and motives as combustible as gasoline, in a mystery that explores the dark side of the American dream.
The work was originally published in 1971; this edition is from 1996. It is the sixteenth novel in the series featuring detective Lew Archer.
For readers of crime fiction and suspense, especially followers of the Lew Archer series.
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.
