The novel which introduced Travis McGee, godfather of all contemporary American crime series heroes.
Travis McGee, beach bum and "salvage expert" (he'll retrieve what you've lost for 50 per cent), lives on a houseboat in Fort Lauderdale. Instead of taking retirement at sixty, he takes it in chunks as he goes along. If he likes you, he'll help you, and he likes Cathy Kerr, who has been robbed of everything but her dignity . . .
The first in the series establishes the fast-talking, wise-cracking standard Macdonald maintained for over twenty years.
'Crime Masterworks' is a library of the greatest crime fiction ever written, chosen with the help of today's leading crimewriters and critics. However, they are categorised - hard-boiled, suspense, police procedural - all books in the series are the best of their kind.
