Find a Victim (Lew Archer Series, Book #5) by Ross Macdonald
Las Cruces wasn't a place most travelers would think to stop. But after Lew Archer plays the good Samaritan and picks up a bloodied hitch-hiker, he finds himself in town for a few days awaiting a murder inquest. A hijacked truck full of liquor and an evidence box full of marijuana, 20,000 from a big-time bank heist by a small-time crook, corruption, adultery, incest, prodigal daughters, and abused wives all make the little town seem a lot more interesting than any guidebook ever could. And as the murder rate rises, Archer finds himself caught up in a mystery in which everyone is a suspect and everyone's a victim.
