'The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American' WILLIAM GOLDMAN. 'I can't make your girl come back if she doesn't want to. I told you that on the phone...' When Lew Archer is hired to find out the truth about a suspiciously suave Frenchman who has run off with his client's girlfriend, it looks like a simple enough case. But things start to look very different when Archer connects the elusive foreigner with a seven-year-old suicide and a mountain of gambling debts. BLACK MONEY is Ross Macdonald at his very finest, revealing the skull beneath the sun-kissed skin of Southern California.

Prop Man

What started out as another perfect day for a superhero performing heroic feats suddenly goes awry.

Another Perfect Day

Όπως πολλοί εκατομμυριούχοι στη Νότια Καλιφόρνια, ο Ραλφ Σάμσον έχει περίεργες παρέες: τον ερημίτη που λατρεύει τον ήλιο, στον οποίο ο Σάμσον χάρισε κάποτε ένα βουνό∙ την ξεπεσμένη ηθοποιό που έχει ως πάρεργο την αστρολογία και τη βρίσκει με το σαδομαζοχιστικό σεξ. Τώρα, δεν αποκλείεται κάποιος από τους φίλους του να έχει οργανώσει την απαγωγή του. Και καθώς ο Λιου Άρτσερ ακολουθεί τα ίχνη του πάμπλουτου Σάμσον από το άδυτό του στα φαράγγια της περιοχής ως τα κλαμπάκια της τζαζ, όπου στα διαλείμματα του προγράμματος κινδυνεύεις να φας ένα γερό χέρι ξύλο, ο Κινούμενος Στόχος εξελίσσεται σ’ ένα εκρηκτικό αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα που αναμειγνύει το σεξ, την απληστία και το οικογενειακό μίσος.

James Victore

div Ross MacDonald, the award-winning illustrator, and James Victore, the celebrated graphic designer, have gotten together to create a parody featuring the classic kids' book characters Dick and Jane. This time around, though, our straitlaced protagonists are venturing into some rather dark, twisted, and bawdy places. The images are perfectly rendered in warm, nostalgic shades, and the tone of the text is sweet and simple, but the content leans toward sex, drugs, and violence, with healthy doses of innuendo. To top it off, this laugh-out-loud satire is situated inside a handsome, imitation-cloth volume resembling an old-fashioned kids' book. /DIV

A Loving Parody

In and Out with Dick and Jane

1943, έρημος της Αριζόνας: Ένας στρατιώτης που έχει επιστρέψει σπίτι του με άδεια σκοτώνει τον ετεροθαλή του αδελφό και παίρνει τη θέση του, αλλάζοντας όνομα, παίρνοντας τη σύζυγο και οικειοποιούμενος τη φήμη του θύματος ως πολλά υποσχόμενου νεαρού καλλιτέχνη. Δεκαετία του ’70: ο ντετέκτιβ Λιου Άρτσερ καλείται να βρει το κλεμμένο πορτρέτο μιας ξανθιάς και μπλέκεται σ’ ένα κουβάρι μυστικών και φόνων.
