"To diggers a thousand years from now...the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen."
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
A wealthy old man laid up in the hospital is desperate to understand the last months of his daughter's life before she was killed in a car crash in Mexico. It was puzzling. She'd cleaned out her considerable bank account, left Miami and hadn't been heard from again. Travis McGee ventures into the steep hills and strange backwoods of Oaxaca through a bizarre world of dropouts, drug freaks, and kinky rich people--and begins to suspect the beautiful girl's death was no accident....

Fans of Travis McGee will enjoy this sad and kinky mystery. An ill friend of Meyers wants to find out what happened to his daughter who dropped out of college and went to Mexico with some "friends." She was reported dead, but the more McGee investigates, the more confusing the case becomes.

Good story as usual but very depressing. Can't say I enjoyed reading this one!
