Als im mondänen Tennisclub von Montevista ein Eindringling auftaucht, verlässt Ginny Fablon für ihn den Verlobten. Für Detektiv Archer ein klarer Fall von enttäuschter Liebe - bis Verbindungen auftauchen zu einem Selbstmord und Spielschulden. ´Schwarzgeld´ ist eine Abrechnung mit dem amerikanischen Traum. Nichts will man in dem Tennisclub, wo die Haut so weiß sein muss wie die Kleidung, mit dunklen Machenschaften zu tun haben - und doch kommt das Geld der Reichen nicht von ungefähr.

´The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American´ WILLIAM GOLDMAN.

´I can´t make your girl come back if she doesn´t want to. I told you that on the phone...´

When Lew Archer is hired to find out the truth about a suspiciously suave Frenchman who has run off with his client´s girlfriend, it looks like a simple enough case. But things start to look very different when Archer connects the elusive foreigner with a seven-year-old suicide and a mountain of gambling debts.

BLACK MONEY is Ross Macdonald at his very finest, revealing the skull beneath the sun-kissed skin of Southern California.
