Introvert insight:


I could be social or I could read (I'd rather read).


 My kinda party.

 
What if I told you I actually enjoy staying at home?
 

Your introversion is a gift that doesn't need to be cured or fixed.

In The Chill a distraught young man hires Archer to track down his runaway bride. But no sooner has he found Dolly Kincaid than Archer finds himself entangled in two murders, one twenty years old, the other so recent that the blood is still wet. What ensues is a detective novel of nerve-racking suspense, desperately believable characters, and one of the most intricate plots ever spun by an American crime writer.

The New York Times Book Review.
 
"The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American."
