Ross MacDonald: The Chill (UK 2012) From the Publisher: In this byzantine and compelling tale, Ross Macdonald explores the darkest experiences that can bind a family together - and tear it apart. Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer mysteries rewrote the conventions of the detective novel with their credible, humane hero, and with Macdonald's insight and moral complexity won new literary respectability for the hardboiled genre previously pioneered by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. They have also received praise from such celebrated writers as William Goldman, Jonathan Kellerman, Eudora Welty and Elmore Leonard. Ross MacDonald: The Chill. Penguin, ISBN: 9780141196619 (July, 2012), 352 p., £8.99, eBook £5.50.
