For the introduction to our (Crippen & Landru's)
forthcoming THE ARCHER FILES, Tom Nolan has written a
biography of Lew Archer -- quite a tour de force.
The book, which is now in proofs, will have a cover based on
the original Bantam cover for THE NAME IS ARCHER, all the
short stories from LEW ARCHER, PRIVATE DETECTIVE and
STRANGERS IN TOWN, and about a dozen previously unpublished
fragments about Archer. These are not wastepaper dribs and
drabs but rather material that Macdonald wrote, decided would
not fit a particular novel but which he thought good enough
to preserve for possible later use.
