Amazing. John D. MacDonald wrote this book about shyster real estate developers as a tribute to the many friends he lost in a hurricane due to that very circumstance. The term "blockbuster" is used all too often, but this book truly is. John had enormous talent, he was angry, and he was highly eloquent. It may be the most impeccably crafted book I have ever read, and has a permanent place on my bookshelf.
