The eighth novel in the Travis McGee series. McGee, the narrator in all 21 novels, including this one, is a "savage consultant." That means, essentially, that he recovers property in exchange for half of the value. McGee lives in a houseboat usually docked in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He travels to Chicago to help an old friend, Glory, who married and moved to Chicago after McGee helped her recover from a traumatic experience in Florida. The action takes place in Evanston, though it's a rather generic North Shore depiction. This is the only Chicago-set novel in the series. |
