»Mac Donald had a huge influence on me . . . Reacher is like a fully detached version of Travis Mc Gee » LEE CHILD
Travis Mc Gee 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.
The funny thing about favours: sometimes they come back to haunt you. And Travis Mc Gee owes a friend a big one. Little surprise that he finds himself on a trip to Hawaii to help out his friend’s daughter, who is convinced her husband is trying to kill her.
But Travis can’t find a single thing wrong and puts her paranoia down to simple anxiety. It’s not until he’s back home that he realises he may have overlooked a clue or two. And that she might be in very real danger . . .
First published in 1973, The Turquoise Lament features an introduction by Lee Child
