Overview

The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author. -Jonathan Kellerman He had done a big favor for her husband, then for the lady herself. Now she's dead, and Travis McGee finds that Helena Pearson Trescott had one last request of him: to find out why her beautiful daughter Maureen keeps trying to kill herself. But what can a devil-may-care beach bum do for a troubled young mind? McGee makes his way to the prosperous town of Fort Courtney, Florida, where he realizes pretty quickly that something's just not right. Not only has Maureen's doctor killed herself, but a string of murders and suicides are piling up-and no one seems to have any answers. Just when it seems that things can't get any stranger, McGee becomes the lead suspect in the murder of a local nurse. As if Maureen didn't have enough problems, the man on a mission to save her will have to save himself first-before time runs out. John D. MacDonald is the all-time master of the American mystery novel. -John Saul I envy the generation of readers just discovering Travis McGee, and count myself among the many readers savoring his adventures again. -Sue Grafton
