(James Ellroy) "Cook's plot tumbles from scene to scene with jarring brilliance, the pathos of his characters lending his otherwise brutal world a certain beauty." (Publishers Weekly) "Elmore Leonard's laconic flair with the dumb and dangerous [and] James Lee Burke's lyric feel for the dark hearts in a New South-Robbers ranges wild and wide, deep through the heart of Texas." (Michael Malone, author of Time's Witness) "Cook clearly has the suspense-building gene...The nerve-jangling plot tick-tick-ticks toward its explosive end."

    There were no cell phones and no computers. Entertainment was found in other forms and activities and Travis McGee lived and roamed freely on the edges of that era and made us all wish we had more adventure in our lives. I bought this volume because the Travis McGee novels qualify to me as worth keeping around and re-reading on a rainy day, a snowy day, a home sick in bed with the flu day, or just any day when you need to escape to another place and another time and be entertained by one of the best loved characters, even if from another era and one that few under 30 have heard of. I did not have the pleasure to buy the leather bound Grand Masters copy of this book. My copy is one of the book store copies. Well worth getting and reading. But all of John D. McDonalds books are. /BEST VALUE ON THIS GIFT QUALITY BOOK /FAST SHIPPING/OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE/
