Slam the Big Door: A Novel

Is it possible to save a man from himself? Acclaimed novelist John D. MacDonald unfolds the dramatic story of two friends who go their separate waysâ€”and who may be unable to stop themselves from repeating fatal mistakes.

Introduction by Dean Koontz

When Mike Rodenska, a former journalist still grieving the loss of his wife, pays his old war buddy Troy Jamison a long overdue visit in Florida, heâ€™s shocked at what he finds. Behind the indulgent exterior of Troyâ€™s lush beach lifeâ€”the parties, the year-round suntans, the shapely women, the infectious devil-may-care attitude of Troy and his friendsâ€”Mike senses inevitable disaster.

Troy surrendered his life to drink once before. But now his second marriage is failing, his career is in shambles, his stepdaughter is making passes at him, and he seems to be losing his mind. The only question is: Why? His old friendâ€™s downfall is one story that Mike feels compelled to investigateâ€”for Troyâ€™s sake, and for his own.
