John D MacDonald - One More Sunday

by One More Sunday(Lit)

  It was time. He looked down at his opening lines, and at the marginal messages which would coordinate his talk with the marked scripts in the control booth. One more Sunday, he thought. I will get through this one somehow, and there will be another. And another and another. Somebody accepted an award once and spoke of prevailing rather than merely enduring. God, if You are there and if You will ever listen to me again, I no longer want to prevail. It will be enough merely to endure.

  nonetheless stoop to blackmail or worse to insure his position as John Tinker's successor... Roy Owen, a stranger in Meadows Center, whose lonely search for his missing journalist wife is thwarted at every turn...

  Unfolding through these lives is a tale of extortion and intrigue, of sexual exploitation and moral ambiguity, of murder and redemption, of the tainted reality that exists behind the facade of moral rectitude and holiness that the leaders of the Eternal Church present to the world. An enthralling work of fiction from one of America's most gifted and successful novelists.

  In addition to the famous Travis McGee series, John D. MacDonald has published forty-eight novels, two non-fiction works, and more than 500 magazine stories. His books have sold more than 70 million copies worldwide.
