Summary

Summary

Meet Me at the Morgue is the story of a kidnapping that led to four murders. In his search for the killer, Howard Cross digs deep into the Los Angeles underworld, finding along the way a beautiful, lost adolescent mourning a dead lover, a suitcase hidden under an aging sadist’s bed, and a slovenly gentleman with an ice pick in his neck. Ross Macdonald has never written a story quite like this, and neither has anyone else.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“My favorite...[Macdonald] is first among those novelists who raised the genre from its roots in pulp fiction to serious literature.” P.D. James, from Talking About Detective Fiction
“All the pace and excitment of earlier Macdonalds...A legitimately surising solution.” New York Times
 “A gorgeous look at the late 1940s…fine listening for Macdonald fans.” AudioFile
“One of the fastest moving, snappiest five-and-a-half hours you will ever spend trying to figure out who dun’ it…This is a terrific listen…Gardener’s work here is amazing…it’s hard to think that anyone who enjoys a good mystery wouldn’t like this one.” Audiobookstoday.com
