Description
When an old friend arrives at Travis McGee’s houseboat in the dead of night carrying a fortune in cash, McGee knows that trouble is close behind—and soon finds himself drawn into a deadly investigation. His search leads through Florida’s glittering social circles and shadowy underworld, uncovering drug smuggling, political corruption, sexual intrigue, and deep betrayal. As danger closes in, McGee must rely on his instincts, moral code, and hard-won understanding of human nature to expose the forces behind the scheme. A taut, atmospheric installment in the Travis McGee series, the novel blends sun-drenched adventure with noir suspense and MacDonald’s sharp reflections on greed, loyalty, and the costs of corruption.
