From dust jacket: That waterfront knight-errant Travis McGee is never one to turn away an old friend in need—especially if that old friend is young, lovely, and looks like she hasn’t slept for three days. Her name is Carrie Milligan, and at 3 A.M. she turns up on McGee’s houseboat with an ordinary box filled with an extraordinary amount of cash—$104,200, to be exact—in old bills all tied up in neat little bundles. She just wants McGee to hold the cash in safekeeping until she can pick it up, no questions asked, and McGee gets ten grand off the top for his trouble. If she doesn’t return in a month, the money is to go to her sister. Two weeks later Carrie turns up dead, struck by a truck on a deserted country road. McGee could easily deliver the money to Carrie’s sister, but questions keep nagging at him. Was her death really accidental? Where had the money come from? Had Carrie told anyone that McGee had it? Somewhere out there is someone who thinks he can wipe out the past by wiping out everyone who is part of it. And McGee is part of it., J.B. Lippincott Co., 1974<
