A summer art workshop in Cuernavaca, Mexico, is the platform for adventure, intrigue, and romance. MacDonald presents deep insights into the people he has gathered together in this fascinating tale of the human experience.
This is a perfect example of why MacDonald is one of the world's bestselling and best-loved authors. An outstanding novel.

Before John D. MacDonald created Travis McGee, he wrote a number of fine novels, blessed with beautifully incisive characters, and this is a prime example. Two American expats -- a bored divorcee and a nickle-and-dime hustler -- decide to start a "summer art institute" in Cuernavaca. As the students assemble, a complex interplay of events is beautifully set up and resolved. Good stuff.
