New What MacDonald himself considered 'prentice work: early tales written for the pulps to bring in enough money to enable one to continue writing more tales in or order to bring in money to ... Interesting foreshadowing, if that's the right word, of the Travis McGee character in someone called Park Faulkner, a knight-=errant whose brawn, brains and fabulous wealth allow him to poke his nose into situations that the authorities are unable or unwilling to resolve. This bloke appears in two of the tales and then someone just like him, but with a different name, headlines one of the others. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML:The Good Old Stuff, a classic collection of short fiction from crime writer John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of Cape Fear and the Travis McGee series, is now available as an eBook. Before embarking upon a truly iconic career as a novelist, John D. MacDonald cut his teeth perfecting the art of the short story. This powerful collection assembles thirteen of those early mysteries, tightly wound gems of noir fiction that herald the arrival of an American original. Featuring early prototypes of his signature character Travis McGee, many of the characters are explorations into the types of people that would obsess MacDonald throughout his life’s work: professional criminals and city cops, adventurers and amateur sleuths. Throughout, the inimitable touch of a master at work is on shining display. This collection includes “Murder for Money,” “Death Writes the Answer,” “Miranda,” “They Let Me Live,” “Breathe No More,” “From Some Hidden Grave,” “A Time for Dying,” “Noose for a Tigress,” “Murder in Mind,” “Check Out at Dawn,” “She Cannot Die,” “Dead on the Pin,” and “A Trap for the Careless.” Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz Praise for John D. MacDonald “The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller.”—Stephen King “My favorite novelist of all time.”—Dean Koontz “To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.”—Kurt Vonnegut “A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field. Talk about the best.”—Mary Higgins Clark. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
