Macdonald was frequently characterized as the successor to Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
Ross Macdonald's famous private detective is Lew Archer, name having been lifted from Dashiell Hammett's novel Maltese Falcon (detective Miles Archer) according to some sources; but from his sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius, according to the author.
Kenneth Millar was born in Los Gatos, California, as the son of an itinerant newspaper editor.
MacDonald was required to leave the Royal Air Force, in March 1997, the United Kingdom, although a party to the Convention, had not yet incorporated it into United Kingdom law.
MacDonald is accordingly entitled in terms of section 7(1)(b) to rely on any of his Convention rights in these proceedings, it being undisputed that he claims that the Royal Air Force acted in a way made unlawful by section 6(1), and that he would be a victim of any such unlawful act.
MacDonald's the comparison is to be made with a homosexual woman seeking or having a female partner, I would feel obliged by the Convention and the Act to reject that alternative interpretation.
