The Galton Case

The Galton Case

"The Galton Case" is the eighth book in the Lew Archer Series by Ross Macdonald. It was published in 1959.

From the back of the 1983 Bantam edition:

Rich boy Anthony Galton had dropped out of sight more than twenty years ago. To Lew Archer that meant the man was either dead or didn't want to be found. But Tony's nice old mother had a dream that her son would still come home before she died. So Archer took on the case hoping that Tony and Mom could live happily ever after... until he discovered that once upon a time there was a clever swindle, a scared blonde, and a very nasty murder.
