Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta
You Live Once, one of many classic novels from crime writer John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of Cape Fear and the Travis McGee series, is now available as an eBook.
Clint Sewell knows there probably isn’t a woman within fifty miles who would shed a tear if Mary Olan turned up dead—because there isn’t a husband around who hasn’t spent a night or two in Mary’s bed. The latest occupant is Clint’s boss. Joe’s a nice guy, sure, but he’s not above deceiving his wife . . . not above spreading rumors to cover up his sins . . . and maybe not above letting someone else take the fall when the unscrupulous Mary is found lifeless—with Clint Sewell’s belt around her lovely neck.
Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz

Tietoja kirjoittajasta
John D. MacDonald was an American novelist and short-story writer. His works include the Travis McGee series and the novel The Executioners, which was adapted into the film Cape Fear. In 1962 MacDonald was named a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America; in 1980, he won a National Book Award. In print he delighted in smashing the bad guys, deflating the pompous, and exposing the venal. In life, he was a truly empathetic man; his friends, family, and colleagues found him to be loyal, generous, and practical. In business, he was fastidiously ethical. About being a writer, he once expressed with gleeful astonishment, “They pay me to do this! They don’t realize, I would pay them.” He spent the later part of his life in Florida with his wife and son. He died in 1986.
