Barrier Island

I read a whole bunch of Travis McGee novels in my youth, and a bit apprehensive that this wouldn't live to memories of how good they were. I was wrong. This is well-written, suspenseful and engaging, along with having a strong streak of environmental concern running through it. The recommendations from such writers as Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen King and Richard Condon should be enough to convince anyone to read his stuff. Highly recommended.
