***************************************************************
Travis McGee 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.

Hollywood's leading lady Lysa Dean isn't in the business of making mistakes. But a night involving a debauched party and some naked photos turns out to be one mistake too many. If the pictures get out, Lysa's engagement to her rich, strait-laced fiancé won't stand a chance. She needs someone to set her life back on track.

Travis McGee has his own reasons for taking the job. He soon finds himself led on a wild chase across the country, trying to track down everyone associated with the fateful evening.

But just when Travis thinks he knows exactly where things are headed, one big twist shakes his very core...

First published in 1964, The Quick Red Fox features an introduction by Lee Child
