*After some recent disruptions in my life (a heart attack, etc.) I have finally gotten back to my project of re-reading author John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee books, and hopefully to my plan to read them in the order in which Mr. MacDonald wrote them, which is why I am now working on reading The Deep Blue Goodbye, which was the first of this series to be published (in 1964) and which is the story of Travis McGee's Galahad-like efforts to help a friend of a friend... so to speak...both of whom just happen to be beautiful young women..."recover" a fortune in presumably stolen gemstones that her father had smuggled back home after completing an overseas tour of military duty, and then hidden for safekeeping until he could finish a prison sentence, which he never did, of course, again presumably, because of the efforts of his villainous cellmate, who then shows up and ingratiates himself to McGee's client to be, while he is locating and taking possession of the stolen gems, after which he then disappears and thus sets up the need for McGee to find him, and to also recover the stones, which he does of course, but only after riding the human race of this dastardly doer of devilish deeds.
