Another rare and short-lived price drop on a Travis McGee title, by John D MacDonald...
Dress Her in Indigo is the 11th in the series and has dropped to $1.99 today as part of the US Kindle Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US.
The McGee titles are normally ridiculously expensive, in the US at least, but as I've looked back over the last couple of years, they seem to have been going on sale, very briefly, one-by-one, every few months, without many (or any?) repeats. So, all of this is a long winded way of saying, grab it immediately if you want it. No hesitation, do not pass Go, just grab it

Quote:
From a beloved master of crime fiction, Dress Her in Indigo is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.
Travis McGee could never deny his old friend anything. So before Meyer even says please, McGee agrees to accompany him to Mexico to reconstruct the last mysterious months of a young woman’s life—on a fat expense account provided by the father who has lost touch with her. They think she’s fallen in with the usual post-teenage misfits and rebels. What they find is stranger, kinkier, and far more deadly.
“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
All Meyer’s friend wants to know is whether his daughter was happy before she died in a car accident south of the border. But when McGee and Meyer step foot in the hippie enclave in Oaxaca that had become Bix Bowie’s last refuge, they get more than they bargained for.
Not only had Bix made a whole group of dangerous, loathsome friends, but she was also mixed up in trafficking heroin into the United States. By the time she died, she was a shell of her former self. And the more McGee looks into things, the less accidental Bix’s death starts to seem.
