Paperback book with the author's name and book title set flush right in a bold condensed serif font. I. A small space top left is a painted illustration of a hypodermic needle and two drug vials. At the bottom left is a painted illustration of a woman laying on her back, head toward the viewer. Her shoulders are bare and what appears to be brown butcher paper is wrapped around her torso, with a pair of scissors and a tape dispenser set next to where the paper lays next to her.
The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper
By John D. MacDonald
Travis McGee tries to help the daughter of an old friend, and becomes embroiled in the shady activities in a small city.
So far, in my experience, there is no Travis McGee novel that isn't excellent.
