Descriere

From a beloved master of crime fiction, Nightmare in Pink is one of many classic novels featuring Travis Mc Gee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. Travis Mc Gee s permanent address is the Busted Flush, Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Lauderdale, and there isn 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 wasn t for him, Mc Gee might not be alive. For that kind of friend, Travis Mc Gee will travel almost anywhere, even New York City. Especially when there s a damsel in distress. As a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. Mac Donald touched me. Dean Koontz The damsel in question is his old friend s kid sister, whose fiance has just been murdered in what the authorities claim was a standard Manhattan mugging. But Nina knows better.

Travis is determined to get to the bottom of things, but just as he s closing in on the truth, he finds himself drugged and taken captive.
