Recommended reading - The Ivory Grin, by Ross MacDonald (1952).
The Ivory Grin, a.k.a. Marked for Murder (1952).
by Ross MacDonald.
ISBN-13: 978-0307278999
“Archer-Macdonald are working together at
their peak, piecing together a most modern American Tragedy, making literature
out of the thriller form, gazing more clearly than ever into the future as it
rolls through the smog.” – Newsweek.
A hard-faced woman clad in a blue mink stole
and dripping with diamonds hires Lew Archer to track down her former maid, who
she claims has stolen her jewelry. Archer can tell he's being fed a line, but
curiosity gets the better of him and he accepts the case. He tracks the wayward
maid to a ramshackle motel in a seedy, run-down small town, but finds her dead
in her tiny room, with her throat slit from ear to ear. Archer digs deeper into
the case and discovers a web of deceit and intrigue, with crazed number-runners
from Detroit, gorgeous triple-crossing molls, and a golden-boy shipping heir
who's mysteriously gone missing.
Traveling from sleazy motels to stately
seaside manors, The Ivory Grin is one of Lew Archer's most violent and macabre
cases ever.
Lemmy Kilmister, on books and reading:
There are a lot of good books around.
People don't read anymore.
It's a sad state of affairs.
Reading's the only thing that allows you to use your imagination.
When you watch films it's someone else's vision, isn't it?
- Lemmy Kilmister.
