The Zebra-Striped Hearse

Ross Macdonald: The Zebra-Striped Hearse (USA 1998)

From the Publisher:
Strictly speaking, Lew Archer is only supposed to dig up the dirt on a rich man's suspicious soon-to-be son-in-law. But in no time at all Archer is following a trail of corpses from the citrus belt to Mazatlan. And then there is the zebra-striped hearse and its crew of beautiful, sunburned surfers, whose path seems to keep crossing the son-in-law's -- and Archer's -- in a powerful, fast-paced novel of murder on the California coast.

From the Publisher:
THE ZEBRA-STRIPED HEARSE
The Pacific north of Malibu kicked up surf the same foul weather grey as Lew Archer's mood. His latest case had started out like the old familiar fairy tale: an ugly duckling stepdaughter ran off with her Prince Charming to live happily ever after. Only this Cinderella was inheriting a half-million bucks, and her handsome prince was as phony as a three dollar bill. Now Cinderella's Daddy wanted her found. But the trail that took Archer from Mexico up the California Coast was splattered red with murder - and unless he found her in time, the ending to this would-be princess's story would be an obituary.

From the Publisher:
LEW ARCHER
'By a long chalk, the best private eye in the business.' -- Sunday Times

THE MURDER BUSINESS... I found a towel in the bathroom sink, soaked with blood. Splatters of blood congealed on the linoleum floor. I went into the bedroom, where a man in his shirt sleeves sat on the edge of the bare mattress.
And who have we been killing today?' l asked.
He mumbled something unintelligible, then started coughing, and gasped: 'Quick, get me some water.' I made for the bathroom, then spun round to see his gun levelled at me. Over it he said: 'Close the door. Stay outside. I had no inclination to disobey him.
Then his gun went off. Once.

The Zebra-Striped Hearse

Ross Macdonald: The Zebra-Striped Hearse (UK 1965)

From the Publisher:
MY NAME IS ARCHER, LEW ARCHER -- MY BUSINESS IS MURDER...
"I found a towel in the bathroom sink, soaked and heavy with coagulated blood. Splatters of blood congealed on the linoleum floor. I stepped across them and went into the bedroom.
A man in his shirt sleeves sai on the edge of the bare mattress.
"And who have we been killing today?" I asked. "Whose blood's that in there?"
He mumbled something unintelligible, despair creasing his white face.
"Come on, stand up." He started coughing, clurching his throat in a paroxysm, and gasped: "Quick, get me some water." I made for the bathroom, then spun round, knowing I'd been fooled, to see his gun levelled at me. Over it he said: "Close the door. Stay outside." I had no inclination to disobey him, though the bathroom now seemed hideously familiar.
His gun went off. Once.
I opened the door. The gun was still in his mouth -- like a pipe of queer design which he had fallen asleep smoking."

The Zebra-Striped Hearse

Ross Macdonald: The Zebra-Striped Hearse (USA 1962)

From the Publisher:
the zebra-striped hearse
HARRIET was a big girl, twenty-five on her next birthday, but her father, Colonel Blackwell, persisted in treating her as a little one. When she came back from Mexico with a man she planned to marry, the Colonel assumed this match could not be suitable. Burke Damis, the prospective bridegroom, claimed to be a serious painter. Harriet considered him a genius, but nobody else had ever heard of him. So the Colonel hired Archer to look into Damis's background. Almost at once he discovered the body of a man stabbed to death with an icepick. Meanwhile Damis and Harriet had dropped out of sight.

The story moves with grace and speed and steadily mounting excitement across the map of California and through its society, from Los Angeles to the Bay area, from the American colony on Mexico's Lake Chapala to the floating population of gamblers and their girls on the south shore of Lake Tahoe.

This is Mr. Macdonald's tenth book about the physical and moral adventures of Lew Archer, and perhaps the most fascinating of a brilliantly sustained, and widely acclaimed, series. Like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett before him, Ross Macdonald writes for the general literate public. That mystery fans also like his work is all to the good.

Ross Macdonald was born near San Francisco in 1915. He was educated in Canadian schools, traveled widely in Europe, and acquired advanced degrees and a Phi Beta Kappa key at the University of Michigan. In 1938 he married a Canadian girl who is now well known as the novelist Margaret Millar. Mr. Macdonald (Kenneth Millar in private life) taught school and later college, and served as Communications Officer aboard an escort carrier in the Pacific. For the past sixteen years he has lived in Santa Barbara and written mystery novels about the explosively changing society of his native state. His hobbies include sailing, tower diving, all-year swimming, and literary criticism.

Ross Macdonald: The Zebra-Striped Hearse. A Lew Archer Novel. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1962, 278 p., $3.50.
