Travis McGee in The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper by John D. MacDonald 1972 Pan Edition Paperback.
Acceptable. The Front and rear covers show signs of wear. The pages have lightly browned around the edges with age. However, it's structurally sound—no loose pages, no messy underlining, and the spine isn't cracked or broken.
When a dying former lover begs Travis McGee to save her daughter, the salvage consultant steps out of his Florida paradise and into the dark underbelly of a seemingly quiet Florida town.
Helena Preston is beautiful, wealthy, and descending into a bizarre, catatonic madness—confined like a package wrapped up and hidden from the world. Her family calls it a mental breakdown, but McGee senses a far more sinister force at play.
