Synopsis: Judge Me Not, one of many classic novels from crime writer John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of Cape Fear and the Travis McGee series, is now available as an eBook.
One way or another, change is coming to Deron, New York. The city has long been terrorized by Lonnie Raval, a ruthless bully whose political machine carried him all the way into the mayor’s office. After suffering through years of corruption, kickbacks, and psychological torture, the people of Deron have finally achieved a wave of reforms. Bright young go-getter Teed Morrow has been hired as part of the team cleaning up city hall. There’s just one problem. Teed has his own laundry list of bad behavior—and that includes getting involved with Lonnie’s wife. He knows he’s playing with fire—but it’s not until he wakes to find her murdered that Teed realizes how badly he’s about to get burned.
Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz
