A Bullet for Cinderella
1955
Tal Howard survived the unspeakable: a Korean prison camp that broke men. Now hes back in civilian life, adrift and empty, with only one thing anchoring him to the future: the memory of his buddy Timmy Warden, dead in that hell, and the buried fortune they hid together. Hillston is a small town with small-town secrets, and Tal is a stranger walking into a wasps nest of lies, greed, and old resentments. Toni Rassell is the key to it all, a woman with river-water in her veins and city polish on the surface, and Tal knows the moment he sees her that shell either lead him to the money or straight into the ground. Every step deeper into Timmys past unearths another betrayal, another lie, another face wearing a mask. The stolen loot is worth killing for. So is survival. And somewhere in the rot of this small town, Tal has to find something worth keeping.

“I drove back into town, full of the look of her, full of the impact of her. It was an impact that made the day, the trees, the city, all look more vivid. Her face was special and clear in my mind”
— John D. MacDonald
