What this book is about
Driving through backcountry Florida at night, Travis McGee and Meyer narrowly survive a shooting. When Travis is then arrested by local authorities on bogus charges, he finds himself trapped in a small-town web of corruption, drugs, and old grudges—a Florida where power is local, justice is selective, and the wrong man can disappear. A tense, atmospheric entry in the series.
