“John D MacDonald is a true master of the noir genre, and his previously unpublished story, The Accomplice, further showcases his talent for exploring complex human behavior and societal issues,” said Gulli. “His work continues to resonate with readers today, and we are thrilled to bring this unknown gem to light.”
Branche added, “MacDonald’s strong ethical sense shines through in all his stories, and while The Accomplice may show some early character development issues, it is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of a legendary writer.”
With the publication of The Accomplice in the Strand Magazine, readers have the opportunity to delve into a new, gripping tale from one of the greatest authors of the 20th century.
Kingsley Amis lo consideró “por cualquier estándar un mejor escritor” que el novelista ganador del Pulitzer, Saul Bellow, “solo MacDonald escribe thrillers y Bellow es un tipo del corazón humano, así que adivina quién lleva las laureles de primera calidad”.
