Today: 2 eBooks from Ross Macdonald--including his first novel!

Ross Macdonald was a pseudonym for Kenneth Millar, who is often included in the “holy trinity of detective fiction” along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. His most famous character was Lew Archer, the tough-but-sensitive private detective introduced in the 1946 short story “Find the Woman.”

But before Lew Archer's first outing in a full-length novel (The Moving Target in 1949), Macdonald wrote and released two novels under his real name, Kenneth Millar: The Dark Tunnel (1944) and Trouble Follows Me (1946).

And today, we've made both novels available as eBooks!

In The Dark Tunnel, Macdonald's first novel, two wartime lovers reunite under a cloud of paranoia.

In Trouble Follows Me, a sailor discovers a transcontinental conspiracy in the last days of World War II. 

We're thrilled to be bringing these books back to reading audiences. You can find them at this link. And keep your eyes peeled—we're planning a short print run of both novels, which should be available next month!
