Dennis Lehane, whose Gone, Baby, Gone is one of the finest thrillers of the last fifteen years, is about to dip his scrivener's pen into the ink of one of crime fiction's most sublime characters.
Based on the book “Deep Blue Good-by,” the novel was part of 21 book series focusing on Travis Magee who is the central character in a series of mysteries by John D. McDonald.  They are classic sleuth novels, set it Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Fingers crossed for this one.

Here’s a quote about John D. Macdonald that I often see bouncing around the web (I hesitate to quote from Wikipeida, which we all know is generally stuff we can wipe our asses with, but this seems legit). “Macdonald is by any standards a better writer than Saul Bellow, only Macdonald writes thrillers and Bellow is a human heart chap, so guess who wears the top grade laurels?” That’s from Kingsley Amis.
