罗斯•麦克唐纳（Ross MacDonald，1915-1983） 罗斯•麦克唐纳，本名肯尼斯•米勒，生于美国加州，是著名的高学历作家，拥有文学博士头衔。他曾服役于美国海军情报局，退役后在母校密歇根大学执教。二十三岁时，麦克唐纳与著名的侦探小说家玛格丽特•米勒结为夫妇。受妻子影响，他开始涉足犯罪小说的创作。前四部作品均以本名发表，第五部长篇小说《移动飞靶》发表时，取笔名为罗斯•麦克唐纳。 麦克唐纳幼年丧父，唯一的女儿又因脑出血离世，因此他笔下的故事总被浓郁的悲伤气氛所笼罩，“亲子分离”也是他擅长描写的主题。其作品文笔优美，心理描写细腻深刻，用词简约，韵味悠长。在处理犯罪的心理层面上，若说他是最写实、并对后代作家最具启发性的侦探小说大师，并不为过。他的角色心理深度超越了所有同类型的作品；对各种角色的处理不像钱德勒那样爱下结论，他总是留给角色一些“不解...(展开全部)
