Not your average gumshoe.,

This review is from: Darker Than Amber: A Travis McGee Story (Textbook Binding)
Travis McGee is not your average gumshoe. He doesn't have an office or a secretary. He lives on a houseboat called the Busted Flush which he won in a poker game. He drives an old Rolls Royce that somebody cut in half and turned into a pick-up truck.And the only time he works is when he needs money for his on again, off again retirement. He has a unique philosophy. He wants to remain as anonomous as possible and be retired as much as possible.When he needs money he looks for somebody who has lost something of considerable value and makes them a deal. If he can recover it he gets half it's value. The idea being: Half of something is better than half of nothing. "Darker than Amber" is the first book in the series and they only get better and better as they go along. I highly recommend the whole series if you like off-beat characters and unique plots.
