"Excellent; Continuing character: Travis McGee; first of the McGee stories; he helps two women find the man who stole the gems one's father had hid for her and who abused them both."
"The beginning of my favorite detective fiction. There is no other but the great Travis McGee. If you are looking for a superb first person thriller narrative, this is the one."
"Enjoyed this gritty book. Liked the description of women and the sense of flawed realism that you hesitate to question because it is outside your usual experience. Exciting."
