Praise for John D. MacDonald and the Travis McGee novels   " The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller."-Stephen King   "My favorite novelist of all time . . . All I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me. No price could be placed on the enormous pleasure that his books have given me. He captured the mood and the spirit of his times more accurately, more hauntingly, than any 'literature' writer-yet managed always to tell a thunderingly good, intensely suspenseful tale."-Dean Koontz   "To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen."-Kurt Vonnegut   "A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field. Talk about the best ."-Mary Higgins Clark   "A dominant influence on writers crafting the continuing series character . . . I envy the generation of readers just discovering Travis McGee and count myself among the many readers savoring his adventures again."-Sue Grafton   "One of the great sagas in American fiction."-Robert B. Parker   "Most readers loved MacDonald's work because he told a rip-roaring yarn. I loved it because he was the first modern writer to nail Florida dead-center, to capture all its languid sleaze, racy sense of promise, and breath-grabbing beauty."-Carl Hiaasen   "The consummate pro, a master storyteller and witty observer . . . John D. MacDonald created a staggering quantity of wonderful books, each rich with characterization, suspense, and an almost intoxicating sense of place. The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author and they retain a remarkable sense of freshness."-Jonathan Kellerman   "What a joy that these timeless and treasured novels are available again."-Ed McBain   "Travis McGee is the last of the great knights-errant: honorable, sensual, skillful, and tough. I can't think of anyone who has replaced him. I can't think of anyone who would dare."-Donald Westlake   "There's only one thing as good as reading a John D. MacDonald novel: reading it again. A writer way ahead of his time, his Travis McGee books are as entertaining, insightful, and suspenseful today as the moment I first read them. He is the all-time master of the American mystery novel."-John Saul, Praise for John D.

Synopsis
From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Long Lavender Look is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. A lovely young thing, wearing little more than a determined look, streaks out of the darkness and into Travis McGee's headlights. McGee hits the brakes, misses the fleeing soul by inches, and lands upside down in ten feet of water--and right into the heart of a violent mystery. "To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen."--Kurt Vonnegut McGee and his old friend Meyer are cruising along on their way back from a wedding when the girl darts in front of their car. They manage to emerge from the wreckage and are limping along the deserted Florida road when someone comes by in an old truck and takes a couple of shots at them. So much for Southern hospitality. McGee and Meyer head to a service station to regroup, but are there arrested and charged with murder. It turns out a local thug has just been killed, and the lead suspects are Meyer and McGee. Someone's obviously out to get them--and in this Twilight Zone they've found themselves in, they must gather their resources to fight for their lives against a deeply corrupt system. Features a new Introduction by Lee Child
