A vet just home from a North Korean prison camp goes looking for a stash of money buried by a deceased fellow prisoner, falling in with a good girl and a bad girl while all the while being dogged by a psychopath in John D. MacDonald's bracing noir A Bullet for Cinderella.
MacDonald is probably best known for his Travis McGee series about a Florida P.I., but I like his non-series work even better. This was a very tough story and an old-fashioned page-turner (although those who have read the later Cape Fear might speculate if MacDonald rehashed some ideas).
This was recommended to me for my beloved Kindle and I downloaded and read it quickly. Great for MacDonald fans and good for anyone else who enjoys hardboiled stories.
