Summary

When Lew Archer stops for a hitchhiker and finds a young man dying of a gunshot wound, he knows he has stumbled into a mess. In a matter of hours he is suspected by the law, hired by a target-shooting trucking magnate, and chasing a hijacked load of hooch and a band of sinners on the loose.

Everything has it's time

I don't mind most of the "period" books that I read, but much as I loved the Lew Archer books in the 70s, I do not think they have worn well compared to the average, certainly not based on this one at least - the other recent re-reading was a little better, but not dissimilar. I wouldn't not read and finish but I've not enjoyed them, as I once did, second time around

Standard

Pretty standard 1950s private detective story. Not quite Raymond Chandler but enjoyable enough. The only annoying thing is there’s no gaps between chapters but you get used to it. Obviously you need to be able to ignore the dodgy 50s attitudes about everything…
