Travis Mcgee Reading Order

1 series · 1 books

John D. MacDonald created Travis McGee, one of detective fiction's most unconventional protagonists, a salvage consultant who operates outside traditional law enforcement by recovering stolen or lost property for half the take. McGee's pragmatic approach to justice and his base of operations aboard a houseboat in Fort Lauderdale defined a series that blended hard-boiled mystery with social commentary throughout the mid-twentieth century. MacDonald's creation established McGee as a memorable antihero whose moral flexibility and resourcefulness made him a standout figure in American crime fiction.
