Description

When a once-healthy friend arrives at Travis McGee’s house nearly ruined and physically broken, McGee learns that a predatory marriage and a fraudulent Florida land deal have stripped him of his fortune. With help from an old ally and the resourceful Meyer, McGee sets out to recover the stolen money and expose the developers behind the scheme, taking the pursuit into the dangerous Florida Everglades. As the investigation unfolds, deception, betrayal, desire, and the costs of growing older become as important as the con itself. Blending hard-boiled suspense with vivid atmosphere and McGee’s characteristically reflective voice, the novel delivers a morally complex adventure rooted in justice, revenge, and survival.
