The New York Times has called John D. MacDonald "one of the most creative and reliable writers of paperback originals. He can create a series character just as well as he does everything else in the suspense field." Other MacDonald titles now available are THE SCARLET RUSE, THE ONLY GIRL IN THE GAME, CONTRARY PLEASURE, THE TURQUOISE LAMENT, BALLROOM OF THE SKIES, WINE OF THE DREAMERS, and THE DREADFUL LEMON SKY.”
