DEAD LOW TIDE

Производитель: "Random House Trade Paperbacks"

`Please, dear, find it for me. It`s something I lost. Maybe John took it, before he died. Find it for me, honey.` `Look, Mary Eleanor. I declare myself out. I exit from this murder. Understand?` `Bring it right to me when you find it, and don`t peek, hear?` She was beyond arguing with. She stood up, lurched at me and clung, saying softly, `Oooo, Andy. Old Andy going round and round.` She kissed me along my jaw line, and every time I got untangled, she meeched onto my head again. She smelled like old Kentucky mash. I finally got all of me loose at once and backed out to the terrace. `All right for you,` she yelled. `All right for you.` I could still hear her as I drove away. I shuddered. Her love would make the kind of memory you couldn`t scrub off your soul with a wire brush. ISBN:9780812984200

MacDonald, John D.

▪ American writer
in full  John Dann MacDonald 
born July 24, 1916, Sharon, Pa., U.S.
died Dec. 28, 1986, Milwaukee, Wis.

      American fiction writer whose mystery and science-fiction (science fiction) works were published in more than 70 books. He is best remembered for his series of 24 crime novels featuring private investigator Travis McGee.

      After MacDonald graduated from Syracuse (New York) University (B.S., 1938) and Harvard Graduate School of Business (M.B.A., 1939), he served in World War II in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He began contributing science-fiction and suspense stories to pulp magazines in the mid-1940s. From 1950 he began publishing full-length novels, beginning with The Brass Cupcake.

      In The Deep Blue Good-By (1964), MacDonald introduced Travis McGee—a tough, eccentric “salvage consultant” who typically defends a beautiful woman against a large, corrupt organization. Going beyond the usual formula of sex and violence, the author investigated contemporary social and moral concerns through McGee and his erudite sidekick, Meyer. Books in the series include One Fearful Yellow Eye (1966), A Tan and Sandy Silence (1971), and Cinnamon Skin (1982). Among his science-fiction novels are Wine of the Dreamers (1951), Ballroom of the Skies (1952), and The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything (1962). Other notable works by MacDonald include The Neon Jungle (1953), A Key to the Suite (1962), Condominium (1977), and One More Sunday (1984).
