«O esgar da morte» is a crime novel by Ross Macdonald, published by Publicações Europa-América in paperback (187 pages, in Portuguese).
In the middle of a Californian plain stands Bella City, a city dominated by corruption. An investigation leads the protagonist through dusty dives, pawnshops and sordid boarding houses, until uncovering a plot of suspense and crime. Ross Macdonald delivers a classic hardboiled example, with a decadent atmosphere.
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.
