A tense and hard-edged noir novel of greed, buried secrets, and deadly obsession, A Bullet for Cinderella shows John D. MacDonald's crime fiction at its lean, ruthless best.
Tal Howard has come home from the Korean War with a story he cannot forget. In a prison camp, a dying man told him about a hidden fortune, and Tal returns to a small American town determined to find it. But he is not the only one looking. The secret has drawn in dangerous men, desperate women, and old lies that refuse to stay buried.
As Tal searches for the money, he becomes entangled with the people connected to the dead man's past, including the troubled and elusive Cindy, whose life has already been shaped by violence, manipulation, and fear. What begins as a hunt for hidden cash turns into a brutal contest of suspicion, desire, and survival.
First published in 1955, A Bullet for Cinderella is a sharp, fast-moving crime novel filled with postwar tension, moral ambiguity, and the dark psychology that made MacDonald one of the essential voices of American suspense fiction.
