About the Book

Travis McGee finds himself in the one place he would never choose to be: New York City, where no one can be trusted.

MacDonald only gets better as he lays bare more of his America. Find out why he is the inspiration behind a generation of crime writers. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Michael Connelly and John Grisham.

'MacDonald had a huge influence on me . . . Reacher is like a fully detached version of Travis McGee' - LEE CHILD

'The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller' - STEPHEN KING
'To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.' - KURT VONNEGUT


Travis McGee isn't your typical knight in shining armour. He only works when his cash runs out, and his rule is simple: He'll help you find whatever was taken from you, as long as he can keep half.

Travis McGee's old army buddy needs a favour.

His sister's fiancé has just been murdered in what the authorities claim was a standard Manhattan mugging. But Nina knows better.

Her soon-to-be husband had been looking too closely at his firm's books, and he'd found that the numbers weren't adding up.

Travis is determined to get to the bottom of things, but just as he's closing in on the truth he finds himself taken captive.
Some people will go to any lengths to make sure their secrets don't get out . . .


Featuring an introduction by Lee Child


Further Praise for the Travis McGee series:

'Travis McGee is my favourite fiction detective. He's great because he has a philosophical side - he will fight a bunch of mobsters in a car park and then have a muse about life, the universe and everything' - Tony Parsons

'A dominant influence on writers crafting the continuing series character . . . I envy the generation of readers just discovering Travis McGee' - Sue Grafton

'. . . my favorite novelist of all time' - Dean Koontz

'A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field' - Mary Higgins Clark

About the Author :
John D. MacDonald was an American novelist and short-story writer. His works include the highly influential and iconic Travis McGee series and the novel The Executioners, which was adapted into the film Cape Fear. In 1972, MacDonald was given The Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America; in 1980, he won a National Book Award for the Travis McGee title The Green Ripper. In print, he delighted in smashing the bad guys, deflating the pompous, and exposing the venal. In life, he was a truly empathic man; his friends, family, and colleagues found him to be loyal, generous, and practical. In business, he was fastidiously ethical. About being a writer, he once expressed with gleeful astonishment, 'They pay me to do this! They don’t realize, I would pay them.' He spent the later part of his life in Florida with his wife and son, and died in 1986.
