Bol

From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Lonely Silver Rain is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. Travis McGee has luck to thank for his reputation as a first-rate salvager of stolen boats. Now Billy Ingraham, a self-made tycoon, is betting that McGee can locate his $700,000 custom cruiser. McGee isn&;t so sure. He knows all too well the dangerous link between Florida boatjackings and the drug trade, and he&;s vowed never to swim with the sharks&;but if he wants to keep his head (AKA finances) above water, swim he will. &;As a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.&;&;Dean Koontz Even though McGee doesn&;t feel like sticking out his neck for this case, Billy&;s wife, Millis, convinces him to step up to the challenge. Sort of. After a pilot friend leads him to the stolen vessel, McGee immediately regrets not going with his gut. The yacht is no longer an ordinary boat. It&;s a slaughterhouse. After witnessing the sordid scene, McGee realizes he&;s knee-deep in the white-hot center of an international cocaine ring. In the midst of this terrifying ordeal and an affair with a very dangerous woman, McGee is shocked by the return of a secret from his past. Over the years, McGee has recovered many wrecks&;now he&;ll need to salvage his own life. Features a new Introduction by Lee Child
