The Moving Target — Ross MacDonald

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A BIG-MONEY MAN with Hollywood connections touched off a series of violent crimes. Oil millionaire Ralph Sampson was off again on another binge. The last time he was on one of those blinders he gave away an entire mountain, hunting lodge and all. Now he was at it again, and his wife -- twenty years his junior -- wanted him brought back before he could give away any more of the fortune she planned to inherit. For $65 a day, plus expenses, it was Lew Archer's job to find him.
