The Scarlet Ruse: A Travis McGee Novel
- Used Book in Good Condition
From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Scarlet Ruse is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.
Â
Travis McGeeâ€™s getting lazy. Drinking Boodles on the Busted Flush has become a full-time job. But when he hears that six figuresâ€™ worth of rare stamps have wandered off, McGee finds himself back in the salvage business. To deliver on this case, McGee will have to be suspicious of everyone he meetsâ€”because what heâ€™s looking for is property of the mob.
Â
â€œThe Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author.â€â€”Jonathan Kellerman
Â
Hirsh Fedderman has misplaced an extremely valuable commodity: the stamp collection of mobster Frank Sprenger. Assessed at around four hundred thousand dollars, these are no ordinary stamps, and Sprengerâ€™s no ordinary collector: Heâ€™s liable to break some fingers if he doesnâ€™t get what heâ€™s owed.
Â
Lucky for Hirsh, heâ€™s got a friend in Travis McGee. Soon McGee is hot on the trail of the missing collectionâ€”not to mention hot for a voluptuous stamp expert by the name of Mary Alice. Only itâ€™s not McGeeâ€™s heart thatâ€™s in danger. He soon realizes that heâ€™s run afoul of a vicious syndicate, and neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night will keep them from collecting McGeeâ€™s head.
