The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author. Jonathan Kellerman Funny thing about favors. Sometimes they come back to haunt you. And Travis McGee owes his friend a big one for saving his life once upon a time. Now the friend s daughter, Linda Pidge Lewellen, needs help five time zones away in Hawaii before she sails off into the deep blue with a cold-blooded killer: her husband. John D. MacDonald is the all-time master of the American mystery novel. John Saul When treasure hunter Ted Lewellen saved his life in a bar fight, McGee could never have thought he d end up paying his rescuer back in such a way. But years later he finds himself headed to Hawaii at Ted s request to find out whether Pidge s husband really is trying to kill her, or if she s just losing her mind. Of course, once McGee arrives he can t help but give in to his baser instincts, and as his affair with Pidge gets under way, he doesn t find a single thing wrong. McGee chalks up Pidge s paranoia to simple anxiety, gives her a pep talk, and leaves for home blissfully happy. It s not until he s back in Lauderdale that he realizes he may have overlooked a clue or two. And Pidge might be in very serious danger. I envy generations of readers just discovering Travis McGee, and count myself among the many readers savoring his adventures again. Sue Grafton"
