Reviews
"The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American." --The New York Times Book Review "Macdonald brought a new method of psychological construction to the hard-boiled novel ... he was in line with many of the important mid-century movements of American literary fiction, and deserves to be seen as a worthy addition to them." -- The Times Literary Supplement
