    Auf dem Weg nach Sacramento findet Privatdetektiv Archer am Rand des Highways einen angeschossenen Anhalter, der kurz darauf tot zusammenbricht. Bis der Fall geklärt ist, hängt Archer in Las Cruces fest, wo jeder jeden kennt und niemand alles sagt, was er weiß. Alkohol und Drogenschmuggel, Gangs und Banküberfälle. Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich, und unter der Oberfläche schwelen alte Konflikte: In dieser Kleinstadt ist jeder ein Verdächtiger und jeder ein Opfer.

    Eigentlich hatte man Lew Archer nur auf Colonel Blackwells ungeliebten Schwiegersohn in spe angesetzt. Doch kaum beginnt er zu ermitteln, stößt er auf eine heiße Spur, welche über verschiedene Leichen bis nach Mexiko und zurück nach Malibu führt. Dabei kreuzt ein als Fun Car genutzter Leichenwagen immer wieder Archers Weg. Sixties, Surfkultur und Generationenkonflikt sorgen für Spannungen und für Spannung.
