The Price of Murder
by John D. MacDonald

John D. MacDonald is one of those writers who is so damn good it hurts. Written in 1959, The Price of Murder somehow manages to avoid feeling dated. A nasty little tale of murder, deception, and schemes gone awry, the tale succeeds brilliantly. MacDo...more
