"Suddenly, over all the sounds of marine engines and the rushing of the sea, I heard her tormented cries." "Between 1953 and 1964, MacDonald specialized in crime thrillers, mainly of the so-called "hardboiled" genre. Most of these novels were published as paperback originals, although some were later republished as hardbound editions. Many, such as Dead Low Tide (1953) and Murder in the Wind (1956) , were set in his adopted home of Florida. Novels such as The Executioners (1957) (which was twice filmed as Cape Fear, first during 1962 and again during 1991) and One Monday We Killed Them All (1962) concerned psychopathic killers. MacDonald is credited with being one of the earliest to write on the effect of real estate booms on the environment, and his novel A Flash Of Green (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1962) is a good example of this. Many later Florida crime, detective and mystery writers, such as Paul Levine, Randy Wayne White, James Hall and Jonathon King, have followed suit." .
