The Lonely Silver Rain: A Travis McGee Novel

The Lonely Silver Rain: A Travis McGee Novel

From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Lonely Silver Rain is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.
Â
Travis McGee has luck to thank for his reputation as a first-rate salvager of stolen boats. Now Billy Ingraham, a self-made tycoon, is betting that McGee can locate his $700,000 custom cruiser. McGee isnâ€™t so sure. He knows all too well the dangerous link between Florida boatjackings and the drug trade, and heâ€™s vowed never to swim with the sharksâ€”but if he wants to keep his head (AKA finances) above water, swim he will.
Â
â€œAs a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.â€â€”Dean Koontz
Â
Even though McGee doesnâ€™t feel like sticking out his neck for this case, Billyâ€™s wife, Millis, convinces him to step up to the challenge. Sort of. After a pilot friend leads him to the stolen vessel, McGee immediately regrets not going with his gut. The yacht is no longer an ordinary boat. Itâ€™s a slaughterhouse.
Â
After witnessing the sordid scene, McGee realizes heâ€™s knee-deep in the white-hot center of an international cocaine ring. In the midst of this terrifying ordeal and an affair with a very dangerous woman, McGee is shocked by the return of a secret from his past. Over the years, McGee has recovered many wrecksâ€”now heâ€™ll need to salvage his own life.
