Nightmare In Pink: Travis Mcgee Novel (Book 2)

Description

From a beloved master of crime fiction, Nightmare in Pink is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.

Travis McGeeâ€™s permanent address is the Busted Flush, Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Lauderdale, and there isnâ€™t a hell of a lot that compels him to leave it. Except maybe a call from an old army buddy who needs a favor. If it wasnâ€™t for him, McGee might not be alive. For that kind of friend, Travis McGee will travel almost anywhere, even New York City. Especially when thereâ€™s a damsel in distress.

â€œAs a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.â€â€”Dean Koontz

The damsel in question is his old friendâ€™s kid sister, whose fiancÃ© has just been murdered in what the authorities claim was a standard Manhattan mugging. But Nina knows better. Her soon-to-be husband had been digging around, finding scum and scandal at his real estate investment firm. And this scum will go to any lengths to make sure their secrets donâ€™t get out.

Travis is determined to get to the bottom of things, but just as heâ€™s closing in on the truth, he finds himself drugged and taken captive. If heâ€™s being locked up in a mental institution with a steady stream of drugs siphoned into his body, how can Travis keep his promise to his old friend? More important, how can he get himself out alive?

Features a new Introduction by Lee Child

About the Author

John D. MacDonald was an American novelist and short-story writer. His works include the Travis McGee series and the novel The Executioners, which was adapted into the film Cape Fear. In 1962 MacDonald was named a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America; in 1980, he won a National Book Award. In print he delighted in smashing the bad guys, deflating the pompous, and exposing the venal. In life, he was a truly empathetic man; his friends, family, and colleagues found him to be loyal, generous, and practical. In business, he was fastidiously ethical. About being a writer, he once expressed with gleeful astonishment, â€œThey pay me to do this! They donâ€™t realize, I would pay them.â€ He spent the later part of his life in Florida with his wife and son. He died in 1986.
