Again, I learned of John D. MacDonald from Stephen King. He's been dead 22 years and the Travis McGee series is at least 35 years old. But still after all this time, so much fun. Quick great read and rip-roaring yarn.Or as Wikipedia says:
MacDonald was a prolific writer of crime and suspense novels, many of them set in his adopted home of Florida. His best-known works include the popular and critically acclaimed Travis McGee series, and his novel The Executioners, which was adapted into the film Cape Fear. In 1962, MacDonald was named a grand master of the Mystery Writers of America, and he won the American Book Award in 1980. Stephen King[1] praised MacDonald as "the great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller."
It was only my second Travis McGee novel but I have more in my stack. Perfect for the upcoming sun and fun season.
