Excellent read by the master

This was one of John D MacDonald's earliest books (1953) and I think one of his better ones. It is fairly short (160 pages) but MacDonald was not one to pad his books out unnecessarily. The storyline deals with a man who is falsely accused of murder and the ramifications of the murder and the reasons behind the killing. It is not a very complex storyline and does have some implausible moments but for a good quick read, it is certainly recommended.
