In The Far Side of the Dollar, Archer is
looking for an unstable rich kid who has run away from an exclusive reform
school – and into the arms of kidnappers. Why are his desperate parents so
loath to give Archer the information he needs to find him? And why do all
trails lead to a derelict Hollywood hotel where starlets and sailors once
rubbed elbows with two-bit grifters – and where the present clientele includes
a brand-new corpse? The result is Macdonald at his most exciting, delivering
1,000-volt shocks to the nervous system while uncovering the venality and
depravity at the heart of the case.
