Hired by Carl Hallman, the desperate-eyed junkie scion of an obscenely wealthy political dynasty, detective Lew Archer investigates the suspicious deaths of his parents, Senator Hallman and his wife Alicia. Arriving in the sleepy town of Purissima, Archer discovers that orange groves may be where the Hallmans made their mint, but they’ve has been investing heavily in political intimidation and police brutality to shore up their rancid wealth. However, after years of dastardly double-crossing and low down dirty-dealing, the family seem to be on the receiving end of a karmic death-blow. With two dead already and another consigned to the nuthouse, Archer races to crack the secret before another Hallman lands on the slab.Murder, madness and greed grace The Doomsters, where a tony façade masks the rot and corruption within.

      Released in 1956 and 1958, respectively, these titles feature Macdonald's signature PI, Lew Archer. In "Barbarous", Archer is hired by a husband to find his missing beautiful blonde wife, while "Doomsters" has Lew chasing down the truth behind the suspicious death of a U.S. senator. In both cases, Archer discovers that, as always, things are never what they seem.
