These authors write fast paced, adventure style mysteries that feature reluctant warrior-style sleuths who would just rather relax in their Florida seaside homes. They have a strong sense of honor and aren't afraid of a fight. The books have quirky characters, lots of violence, and a strong sense of place. -- Merle Jacob
Both authors write fast-paced, gritty, and atmospheric mystery and suspense novels set in Florida. Beneath the evocative, richly detailed portraits of beautiful coastlands in their novels lie seedy criminal underworlds, brutally violent murders, and cynical, intelligent protagonists trying to sort everything out. -- Derek Keyser

Kirkus Book Review
Travis McGee, Florida's favorite beach-bum adventurer and hero of 22 MacDonald novels, is having long, moody thoughts on middle age and absent friends--when he's persuaded by super-rich Billy Ingraham to try to find his stolen million-dollar yacht. McGee finds it all fight, with the slaughtered bodies of three young people aboard, one of them the daughter of a Peruvian diplomat. Furthermore, some high-level drug trafficking seems to be involved--and before long Ingraham is murdered in an elaborately faked natural death. Can attempts to kill McGee himself be far behind? Of course not. So he's soon forced to explore the seamy byways of the drug trade. . . and, with help from undercover drug-agent Scott Browder, finally gets off the hook. True, it all sounds like a standard replay, and originality is definitely not the drawing card here. But MacDonald makes the old story seem freshly readable--with expert plotting, canny suspense-building, on-target dialogue, and credibly kooky/kinky characters. . . including a new lady guaranteed to put old Trav into a more cheerful frame of mind.
