Description
Travis McGee is content to spend his days drinking on the Busted Flush—until a favor for his friend Meyer draws him into the theft of an extraordinarily valuable collection of rare postage stamps. The investigation leads McGee into the sun-drenched underworld of Miami, where an elderly dealer, a seductive assistant, and a polished criminal each conceal dangerous motives. As the case grows more complicated, McGee and Meyer find themselves facing deception, betrayal, and escalating peril. With its sharp characterizations, vivid Florida setting, and hard-boiled moral edge, this installment showcases the brisk, atmospheric crime writing that defines the Travis McGee series.
