Description:
Quote:In The Far Side of the Dollar, private investigator Lew Archer is looking for an unstable rich kid who has run away from an exclusive reform school-and into the arms of kidnappers. Why are his desperate parents so loath to give Archer the information he needs to find him? And why do all trails lead to a derelict Hollywood hotel where starlets and sailors once rubbed elbows with two-bit grifters-and where the present clientele includes a brand-new corpse? The result is Ross Macdonald at his most exciting, delivering 1,000-volt shocks to the nervous system while uncovering the venality and depravity at the heart of the case.Category:Awards, Mystery & Thrillers, Detective Fiction, Detective Fiction - Hard-Boiled, Detective Fiction - Private Investigators, 1955-1970 Dagger Award Winners, Gold Dagger Winners
