The Empty Copper Sea
Travis McGee · Book 18Description
When wealthy developer Hub Lawless apparently drowns in a boating accident, a $2 million insurance policy prompts an unsettling question: is he truly dead, or has he staged his disappearance? Drawn into the mystery by an old friend and the threat to a man’s reputation, salvage consultant Travis McGee follows a trail of financial deception, predatory land deals, and carefully concealed motives. Alongside his philosophical confidant Meyer, McGee must navigate a dangerous con game where greed and betrayal put more than money at stake. Set against the Florida coast and marked by hard-boiled wit, moral reflection, and intricate plotting, this installment brings John D. MacDonald’s incisive view of human nature to the world of high-stakes fraud.
