The Far Side of the Dollar
A Lew Archer novel

The once popular Barcelona Hotel is now boarded up. Starlets and Navy boys once rubbed shoulders there with tycoons and hustlers. Lewis Archer knows that twenty years ago a handful of dreamers and losers came together in the Barcelona. The question now is what kind of deal went down there, and why were a mixedup rich kid and a beautiful blonde the first to pay the price?
