I have been a John D. MacDonald fan since 1966. Before I went overseas in '66, I went to the PX and purchased The Quick Red Fox and A Purple Place For Dying. I have read every Travis McGee novel and all of John's short stories and many of his other novels. I highly encourage all lovers of mystery and suspense to devour John's works.
