Very good interview, I'll link it to my website later.
I also like Ross Macdonald a lot and felt he never got as much attention as he deserved as John D. MacDonald.
I lost a lot of respect for John D. MacDonald when I read an interview of him bashing Ross Macdonald, saying that he wrote about the same thing all time.
Excuse me? John D. MacDonald's novels are filled with women in refrigerators. He goes to the same well a lot more often, imo.
Anyway, I also agree about The Ipcress file. Deighton's early espionage novels were quite well done.
