About This Item
Blue City by Ross Macdonald
He was a son who hadn't known his father very well. It was a town shaken by a grisly murder -- his father's murder. Johnny Weather was home from a war and wandering. When he found out that his father had been assassinated on a street corner and that his father's seductive young wife had inherited a fortune. he started knocking on doors. The doors came open, and Johnny stepped into a world of gamblers, whores, drug dealers, and blackmailers, a place in which his father had once moved freely. Now Johnny Weather was going to solve this murder -- by pitting his rages, his courage, and his lost illusions against the brutal underworld that has overtaken his hometown.
