Back Four Novels of the 1950s

Ross Macdonald: Four Novels of the 1950s

The Way Some People Die | The Barbarous Coast | The Doomsters | The Galton Case More
Edited by Tom Nolan

“The superb dramatic structure he gives his novels carries full weight of their social implications; his suspenseful plots are vehicles of moral suspense. The intensity of his human concern has found its form, so suited to his demands and so perfectly controlled, because he is the gifted writer he is, and the kind of writer he is.”—Eudora Welty
