MacDonald's hero comes to the rescue. A longtime friend of McGee's is dead, murdered
by some ruthless individuals who could care less that he had a wife and three children.
McGee, sometimes known as that “amiable boat bum” (he only takes cases when he's out

life!) is determined to exact justice and revenge, as the victim was his friend. Before that
