Description
When Hub Lawless falls overboard off the Florida coast, it's called drowning. But no one quite believes it. Not Travis McGee, whose boat is blamed for the mishap. Not the insurance company, with whom Lawless had a two million dollar policy. And not Hub's wife, Julie, whose ESP has convinced her that he is dead, but not from drowning. It's all a messy business -- and McGee is called upon to sort out all the contradictions and find the truth.
