From a beloved master of crime fiction, A Tan and Sandy Silence is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.
 
Travis McGee is unnerved when he receives an unexpected guestā€”real estate developer Harry Broll, who is convinced that McGee is hiding his missing wife. Angry and jealous, Harry gets off a shot before McGee can wrestle his gun away. The thing is, McGee hasnā€™t seen or heard from Mary Broll in three years, and it isnā€™t like her to keep troubles to herselfā€”if sheā€™s alive to tell them.
 
ā€œAs a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.ā€ā€”Dean Koontz
 
McGee is a heartbeat away from crisis. Heā€™s getting older, Lady Jillian Brent-Archer is trying to make him settle down, and heā€™s just been shot without fair warning. Nervous that heā€™s losing his touch, McGee decides to get Harry off his case and prove heā€™s still in top form all in one fell swoop.
 
McGeeā€™s search for Mary takes him to Grenada, where heā€™s soon tangling with con artists and terrifying French killers, not to mention a slew of mixed motives. No longer wallowing in self-pity, McGee has more pressing concernsā€”like saving his own skin. 
 
Features a new Introduction by Lee Child
