Now hes a lead suspect in a plot to help her escape, and to clear his name, he needs to get to the bottom of things.

Features a new Introduction by Lee Child Author Biography 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 dont realize, I would pay them." He spent the later part of his life in Florida with his wife and son. He died in 1986. Details ISBN 0812983939 ISBN-13 9780812983937 Title A Purple Place for Dying Author John D.
