From a beloved master of crime fiction, Nightmare in Pink is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.
 
Travis McGeeā€™s permanent address is the Busted Flush, Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Lauderdale, and there isnā€™t a hell of a lot that compels him to leave it. Except maybe a call from an old army buddy who needs a favor. If it wasnā€™t for him, McGee might not be alive. For that kind of friend, Travis McGee will travel almost anywhere, even New York City. Especially when thereā€™s a damsel in distress.
 
ā€œAs a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.ā€ā€”Dean Koontz
 
The damsel in question is his old friendā€™s kid sister, whose fiancĆ© has just been murdered in what the authorities claim was a standard Manhattan mugging. But Nina knows better. Her soon-to-be husband had been digging around, finding scum and scandal at his real estate investment firm. And this scum will go to any lengths to make sure their secrets donā€™t get out.
 
Travis is determined to get to the bottom of things, but just as heā€™s closing in on the truth, he finds himself drugged and taken captive. If heā€™s being locked up in a mental institution with a steady stream of drugs siphoned into his body, how can Travis keep his promise to his old friend? More important, how can he get himself out alive?
 
Features a new Introduction by Lee Child
