She??s the opposite of a damsel in distress: a famous movie star, very beautiful, very much in control of her life. She??s just made one little mistake and now she needs Travis McGee to set it right. The money is good and Travis??s funds are in need of replenishing. But that??s not the only reason he takes the case. There is the movie star??s assistant??efficient and reserved, with a sadness underneath that makes McGee feel he??d brave any danger to help her.
 
??John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all us in the field. Talk about the best.???Mary Higgins Clark
 
Sultry movie star Lysa Dean has gotten herself into a spot of blackmail, posing for naked photos while participating in a debauched party near Big Sur. If the pictures get out, Lysa??s engagement to her rich, strait laced fiancé doesn??t stand a chance. Enter Travis McGee, who??s agreed to put a stop to the extortion, working alongside Lysa??s assistant, Dana Holtzer.
 
They begin by tracking down everyone associated with the lurid evening, and soon enough they??re led on a chase across the nation as murder after murder piles up. Further complicating matters, Travis and Dana??s relationship soon turns steamy. And just when he thinks he knows exactly where things are headed, one big twist shakes McGee??s life to the very foundation.

Great mystery filled with great characters with interesting motivations, including a host of bad people ranging from petty villainy to monstrous. Liked Travis McGee's jaded philosophy, the amount of detail put into even incidental characters, and the bittersweetness of the ending.

Another solid McGee novel, maybe not as good as the best but still very enjoyable. It has a decent mystery, the requisite love interest, a solid helping of sleaze and a marvelously downbeat ending. ( )

This was a lurid one and the title was apt. "The Quick Red Fox" is a twisty, sultry tale from John D MacDonald. ( )

Some tiny outdated views in this one but I can give it a pass considering how long ago the book was published. You think the mystery is obvious all the way to the end but at the last minute the mystery isn't so obvious so more well not to me anyway, a nice twist plus we get a tragic romance thrown in which is quite heartbreaking for our hero. I enjoyed this one but not as much as the other McGee novel's I've read so far. ( )

A big noisy wind out of the northeast, full of a February chill, herded the tourists off the afternoon beach, driving them to cover, complaining bitterly.
