«La mort t'assenyala» is the crime novel by Ross Macdonald, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (208 pages, in Catalan).
Detective Lew Archer takes on a seemingly minor case: a wealthy woman wants to locate her former maid, whom she accuses of stealing her jewels. The investigation leads him to a decaying town, where the maid turns up dead and the case becomes tangled in blackmail, ambiguous characters, and a disappearance linked to the Detroit underworld.
Fourth entry in the Lew Archer detective series; originally published in English as The Ivory Grin (1952), this Catalan edition belongs to the Seleccions de la Cua de Palla collection.
For readers of crime fiction who appreciate the classic detective and suspenseful plots with urban settings.
Kenneth Millar, known mainly by the pseudonym Ross Macdonald, was an American-Canadian writer of crime fiction. He is best known for his series of hardboiled novels set in Southern California and featuring private detective Lew Archer. Since the 1970s, Macdonald's works have received attention in academic circles for their psychological depth, sense of place, use of language, sophisticated imagery and integration of philosophy into genre fiction. Brought up in the province of Ontario, Canada, Macdonald eventually settled in the state of California, where he died in 1983.
