A Classic Hardboiled Mystery of Deception and Murder in the Tropics

When an enraged husband boards the houseboat Busted Flush with a gun, demanding to know where his missing wife is, salvage consultant Travis McGee is thrust into a deadly investigation. The missing woman, Mary, is a former flame and close friend. To clear his own name, McGee traces her disappearance from the marinas of Florida to the isolated shores of Grenada. There, he uncovers a ruthless financial conspiracy and a cold-blooded killer, forcing him to navigate a treacherous web of offshore real estate fraud to find the truth.

Why You’ll Love This Book

John D. MacDonald delivers a quintessential hardboiled detective novel featuring his iconic, cynical private investigator. This vintage crime thriller trades the standard police procedural for a sun-drenched, gritty exploration of the Florida and Caribbean underbelly. It is a perfect match for readers who enjoy classic noir tropes, morally complex sleuths, and character-driven pulp mysteries.
