Description
'MacDonald had a huge influence on me . . . Reacher is like a fully detached version of Travis McGee' LEE CHILD
Travis McGee isn t your typical knight in shining armour. He only works when his cash runs out, and his rule is simple: He ll help you find whatever was taken from you, as long as he can keep half.
In the Florida Keys, a houseboat explodes in a giant white flash, instantly killing those on board. The boat belonged to Travis McGee s friend Meyer. But it s not Meyer who s dead he d lent it to his just-married niece, Norma, and her husband, hoping to give them the perfect honeymoon.
When a group of Colombian terrorists take responsibility for the brutal act, Meyer and McGee travel to Mexico to seek justice. And Meyer, normally content in McGee s shadow, is determined to avenge the one family member he had left . . . or die trying.
First published in 1982, Cinnamon Skin features an introduction by Lee Child
