About this ebook
Judge Me Not, 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.
One way or another, change is coming to Deron, New York. The city has long been terrorized by Lonnie Raval, a ruthless bully whose political machine carried him all the way into the mayor’s office. After suffering through years of corruption, kickbacks, and psychological torture, the people of Deron have finally achieved a wave of reforms. Bright young go-getter Teed Morrow has been hired as part of the team cleaning up city hall. There’s just one problem. Teed has his own laundry list of bad behavior—and that includes getting involved with Lonnie’s wife. He knows he’s playing with fire—but it’s not until he wakes to find her murdered that Teed realizes how badly he’s about to get burned.
Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5We worry about the violence of our era, the mass shootings. This story is a reminder that people have a long history of violent behavior. While the story is fantasy just as RoboCop was fantasy, it does speak to both the darker and brighter side of human character. Is human nature really changing for the better? We must hope so of we can manage right billion or more of us living on this globe. The story itself is an example of MacDonald's ability to show rather than tell. While a contemporary audience won't identify with everything the evocation of human nature comes through. There is certainly a vivid depiction of late forties America.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Inner city politics often aren't as clear as the "good" and "evil" in this story, but the workings and chicanery involved in political changes couldn't be better shown.
