I don't know why it's John Ross Macdonald, wasn't he by that time just Ross Macdonald in the US? <br /><br />There's a scene in the book that's depicted in the cover, so it's very fitting.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-18278114007725130822009-12-06T23:49:30.069+02:002009-12-06T23:49:30.069+02:00It's interesting that the author name is John ...It's interesting that the author name is John Ross MacDonald. I thought that was used on the first couple of Millar penned books, and then shortened to Ross MacDonald. I believe there was readership confusion between that pseudonym and John D. MacDonald.

I think the cover is based on something from the end of the book. Could be wrong. Usually am. It is definitely better artwork than on my US edition of Meet Me At The Morgue. And i agree with you and Bill about the title.
