This was John D. MacDonald's last Travis McGee novel (last novel of any kind, I believe). There is a wistful quality to it as Travis comes to terms with his past and his advancing years. But the story contains a suspenseful mix of unique characters, lonely women, drug-runners, memories of old Florida, and visions of the new ugly Florida. It was impossible to avoid reading and finishing this yarn over the weekend.
( 4 stars )
