Detective Harper: acqua alla gola (1975)
La miliardaria Iris Deverhoe sospetta che le infamanti lettere anonime che riceve da un po' di tempo siano opera del suo ex autista. Per esserne certa assolda Lew Harper, detective privato, incorruttibile, ironico e privo di qualsiasi illusione sulla vita. Harper trova subito l'autista, ma altrettanto in fretta glielo ammazzano. Questi è un altro che ha fatto i soldi grazie al petrolio e grazie alle mazzette che elargiva agli uomini politici. Lew non si lascia intimorire ma, dopo una serie di cadaveri, comincia a sospettare che il marcio stia proprio in casa Deverhoe.
