The Drowning Pool by Ross MacDonald 1951 Pocket Books Paperback Edition First Printing
The Drowning Pool, first published in 1950, is the second Lew Archer novel. It opens in classic hard-boiled fashion, with a well-dressed woman hesitantly engaging Archer’s services at his L.A. office. Soon he’s digging up secrets in her oil-rich hometown, and the themes that preoccupied Macdonald throughout his career begin to emerge: tormented families, buried secrets that fester through multiple generations, environmental destruction, concealed paternity, and the brutal contrast between rich and poor.
The Drowning Pool returns to the virtues that are the hallmarks of MacDonald’s work: complex and compelling plotting, psychological depth, just enough mayhem, and highly economical prose that routinely rises to something near poetry.
