Summary

Travis things he's in for a quiet summer until a walking zombie of a man, Arthur Wilkinson, stumbles aboard The Busted Flush. He's the latest victim of a fragile-looking blond sexpot who uses the blackest arts of love to lure unsuspecting suckers into a web of sordid schemes. Gone, suddenly, are the lazy, hazy days of summer as Travis becomes embroiled in one of the most dangerous, dirtiest cases of his career.

The best Travis McGee so far

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The best Travis McGee so far. If you like Ian Fleming then this is for you. Tense and violence with characters that aren't stock pulp novel fare. Well worth a listen

Good, but not McGee's best

Enjoyed it, but a little too convex to be a five star. Would have preferred something where the plot was a little more straight forward. Still MUST FOR ALL McGee followers.
