1981. In a Rolling Stone article, Warren Zevon talked about how much he loved to read Ross MacDonald. Zevon's recommendation was enough for me. Then I realized that MacDonald's Lew Archer character, and the novel Moving Target, was the source for Harper (1966).
Soon, I'd found my favorite novelist.
Came across some old MacDonald paperback covers on a great blog dedicated to such things. Killer Covers. Check it out. More importantly, check out Ross MacDonald. You can't really go wrong with any of them, but I really liked The Way Some People Die.
