This thrilling inaugural novel in the beloved Travis McGee series, first published by Fawcett Crest Gold Medal, introduces us to McGee's distinctive brand of justice. Residing on a houseboat in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, McGee takes on cases that often lead him down treacherous paths, dealing with the underbelly of society. In this gripping adventure, McGee is drawn into a dangerous investigation involving a stolen treasure and the subsequent disappearance of a young woman. As he navigates the complexities of greed, deception, and violence, McGee’s sharp wit and unwavering, albeit unconventional, moral compass are put to the test.
