Awards/获奖情况:Sit back and relax. Start at page 1 and take the ride of your life with Travis McGee. This first book in the series is an excellent starting point for first-timers because all the ingredients for the McGee stories are here-a lady in distress, a stolen "treasure", and a brutal unrelenting villain. MacDonald had a talent for involving you so deeply that you find yourself going back to re-read passages that hit you hard the first time. Junior Allen is a perfect villain--A force of nature motivated by greed with an ever-deepening bent towards sexual brutality. This book contains storytelling so vivid that you feel the punches with McGee. This book, along with Donald Hamilton’s Death of a Citizen, is the perfect example of the 50s-60s Fawcett Originals.

约翰•麦唐诺(John D. MacDonald, 1916-1986)也许不能称为是“大器晚成”的作家,因为第一本推理小说《The Brass Cupcake》出版时,他才三十四岁,但他却是在写了四十几本小说之后,才开始他最著名的“特拉维斯•麦基”(Tavis Mcgee)系列。
第一本特拉维斯•麦基登场的小说《深蓝再见》(The Deep-Blue Goodbye, 1964)出炉时,约翰.麦唐诺已经年近五十,从这时开始,他才真正成为美国人最喜爱的推理小说家。而麦唐诺在1972年获得美国推理作家协会最高荣誉的“推理大师奖”(Grand Master Award),也是因为麦基系列的成就终于获得肯定。做为一位作者,他的起步并不是太晚,但迟迟才获得喜爱与肯定,却是“老来得俏”的例子。
