What this book is about
A dying man's last request leads Travis McGee to a small Florida town to look in on his stepdaughter—a woman whose personality has been slowly deteriorating in a way no doctor can explain. Travis investigates the people around her, the medications she's been given, and the community she lives in, uncovering deliberate cruelty dressed up as care. A slower-burn, more literary McGee novel.
