Cry hard, cry fast : a novel

Cry Hard, Cry Fast, 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. A gunman on the lam. A sullen sixteen-year-old on a family vacation. A jaded working girl. A guilt-stricken widower. A lonely mistress looking for a fresh start. These are but a few of the unfortunate souls speeding down a brand-new stretch of highway when a Cadillac flips over the barrier into oncoming traffic and a violent sequence of events explodes at sixty miles an hour. For one horrifying instant, their lives are frozen in time. Some are cut short. But none will ever be the same. For what unfolds is an even more harrowing collision—of passion, greed, and deceit.
