Read by Darren McGavin
"My favorite novelist of all time"
-Dean Koontz
"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 is summoned to Arizona by a rich, beautiful arrogant woman. And then she's dead - shot in the back at long range, lying crumpled on the ground at his feet.
With the would-be client eliminated, and on a dime's worth of fee in his pocket, any ordinary detective would walk away fast. But Travis McGee is no ordinary detective.
