Synopsis: One Monday We Killed Them All, 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.
Brick by bitter brick, Dwight McAran built a wall of vicious hate around himself. It was easy. After all, he’s a man who could beat a woman to death just because she loved him. For that brutal act, he did hard time. Dwight sat in a cell for five long years, simmering until his soul hardened to a core of white-hot evil designed to explode in a fury of vengeance. Now that he’s back on the outside, revenge is all he craves. But he also has a plan, one cruel enough to please him . . . and just crazy enough to work, too.
Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz
