The Crossroads, 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. Along a major commercial
strip, one family has built its fortune on blood, sweat, and tears . .
. and that makes them a target. More than half a century ago, Papa
Drovek opened his small grocery store at the junction of two country
roads. As he bought more and more land, the roads became highways, and
now the Droveks own a complex of hotels, restaurants, a truck stop, a
shopping center, and two gas stations. Papa’s eldest son, Charles,
is president of the Crossroads Corporation, son Leo enjoys his token
job, and daughter Joan manages the commercial tenants’ leases. But
when younger son Pete’s wife gets restless and lonely, she becomes
an easy pawn in a sleazy scheme of robbery and murder. The target? Old
Papa Drovek himself. Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz

the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.”—Kurt Vonnegut “A
master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D.

the best.”—Mary Higgins Clark
