Publication: J B Lippincott Company, 1971, Philadelphia
First hardcover edition. Fine, bright copy in a lightly rubbed dust jacket. Published as a paperback original in 1969, this was the second Travis McGee novel to be published in hardcover by Lippincott and preceded the Robert Hale U. K. hardcover edition by one month. A wealthy old man laid up in the hospital is desperate to understand the last months of his daughter's life before she was killed in a car crash in Mexico. It was puzzling. She'd cleaned out her considerable bank account, left Miami and hadn't been heard from again. Travis McGee ventures into the steep hills and strange backwoods of Oaxaca through a bizarre world of dropouts, drug freaks, and kinky rich people--and begins to suspect the beautiful girl's death was no accident. Elusive title.
