About This Item
New York: Fawcett Gold Medal/Ballantine, 1987. First Printing, First Paperback Edition. . Mass Market Paperback. Very Good to Near Fine. The final novel from this Mystery Grand Master is a departure from his favored Florida settings and his legendary "salvage consultant" Travis McGee. This crime-thriller is set on Mississippi's gulf coast where a powerful and ruthless realtor is planning on selling an island that may disappear in the next storm to the federal government. Standing in the way is an ordinary man for whom honor is more than just another word. Black pictorial wrappers show a mild reading crease, light surface and edge wear. Text is complete, clean and unmarked, just a very slight spine lean. Collectable copy of the last work of one of the all-time best crime-thriller writers.
