The Instant Enemy

Viac o knihe

In this novel, children, barely adults and innocent, become entangled in serious crimes due to fate. Yet, are their parents not the true enemies? Sandy Sebastian might not have become psychologically unstable and involved in a murder if she had not grown up with indifferent parents, where a selfish father battles a coldly calculating mother. Under normal family circumstances, Davy Spanner would not have turned into a killer. Lew Archer recognizes all of this, just as his spiritual predecessor understood it better. Perhaps this is why his psychological explorations into the roots of crime have become increasingly brutal and uncompromising.
