The Good Old Stuff

From the author of the world-famous Travis McGee thrillers, thirteen of John D. MacDonald's earliest and best crime and mystery stories brought together in one volume.

Written at the beginning of his career and originally published in American magazines only, these stories give us a taste of MacDonald's early achievements and show the range of his skill in the realm of mystery and thriller writing. This book and its sequel, More Good Old Stuff, capture 27 of the short stories he wrote for various mystery/detective magazines from the 30s into the 70s.
