A classic novel by John D. MacDonald with an exclusive introduction written and read by Dean Koontz. Once an ordinary math teacher, Omar Krepps developed a knack for gambling, amassed a fabulous fortune, and spent the rest of his life traveling the world and giving away his millions. Upon his death, however, Krepps bequeaths nothing to his nephew and only living blood relative, Kirby Winter - nothing, that is, except an antique watch and a sealed letter to be opened after one year. But Kirby has much more in his possession than he realizes. The watch has the power to manipulate time.

Her veneer was big city...but one look and you knew Toni Raselle's instincts were straight out of the river shack from where she came. I watched her as she toyed with the man, laughing, her tumbled hair like raw blue-black silk, her brown shoulders bare. Eyes deep-set, a girl with a gypsy look. So this was the girl I had risked my life to find. This was the girl who was going to lead me to a buried fortune in stolen loot.

Murder was merciful compared to what Cady had in mind - and what Cady had in mind was Bowden's innocent and lovely teenaged daughter.

Story
Midnight Cowboy is considered by many to be one of the best American novels published since World War II. The main story centers around Joe Buck, a naive but eager and ambitious young Texan, who decides to leave his dead-end job in search of a grand and glamorous life he believes he will find in New York City. But the city turns out to be a much more difficult place to negotiate than Joe could ever have imagined. He soon finds himself and his dreams compromised. Buck's fall from innocence and his relationship with the crippled street hustler Ratso Rizzo form the novel's emotional nucleus.

Story
In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novels—Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973—that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of age—the unnamed narrator and his friend the Rat—are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakami’s later books, and form the first two-thirds, with A Wild Sheep Chase, of the trilogy of the Rat.

A classic novel by John D. MacDonald with an exclusive introduction written and read by Dean Koontz. An insane criminal threatens to destroy a family, and the police are powerless to protect them. For 14 years convicted rapist Max Cady nursed his hatred for Sam Bowden into an insane passion for revenge.

Murder was merciful compared to what Cady had in mind - and what Cady had in mind was Bowden's innocent and lovely teenaged daughter.

I watched her as she toyed with the man, laughing, her tumbled hair like raw blue-black silk, her brown shoulders bare. Eyes deep-set, a girl with a gypsy look. So this was the girl I had risked my life to find. This was the girl who was going to lead me to a buried fortune in stolen loot.

McGee Does the Big Apple
"We're all still carnivores, and money is the meat. If there's a lot of money and any possible way to get at it, I think people will do some strange and warped things."
- John D. MacDonald, Nightmare in Pink
Travis McGee #2 = Travis McGee goes to NYC. Well, he goes to NYC and is slipped a mickey while investigating the murder of a friend's little sister's husband. Like almost all of MacDonald's Travis McGee novels, this one is heavy on damsel in distress and flavored with MacDonald's own brand of misogyny light. I think MacDonald might be able to almost make a convincing argument that his books aren't really sexist, but I also think he was smart enough to understand that there was a BIG market for books about white knights rescuing damsels. Basically, this entire series could have been written in some warped version of Camelot. And, since this book was published in 1964, MacDonald is basically surfing on the shards of the Kennedy's lost Camelot.

Very early Travis
I have read as many John D - Travis books that there are. It is clear that John D was still developing Travis, the character in this release. The book was too much Travis self centeredness and not enough personal doubts. I know from having read all the John D - Travis books he manages to strike the right balance as Travis matures so there is hope. Keep listening and enjoy.

Not his Best, but good.
The book was written in the early 1960's. Has aged well. Certainly not John McDonald's best writing but worth a listen.

I was captivated by the first book, The Deep Goodbye, and intend working my way through the Travis McGee series because this, the second book, did not disappoint in any way.

I have read this book at least three times over the past 20 years and listened to the audio book now twice. As with all John D MacDonald books they just keep getting better and better every time I listen or read.

A step back in time
This book is a wonderful step back in time to a sort of 60s version of Magnum, PI. John D. MacDonald was a very talented story teller. He makes the unbelievable seem real and imparts some real world wisdom as the story develops.
Robert Petkoff sounds just like I would imagine Travis McGee sounding if I was reading it and not listening to it.

MacDonald and Petkoff are are great team!
Would you consider the audio edition of Nightmare in Pink to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version but the way the book was performed by Robert Petkoff, it would be hard to believe reading this myself would be better. Petkoff is as professional as they come and he delivers well on "Pink".
What did you like best about this story?
It's a unique storyline and MacDonald weaves intricate pieces together as well as anybody in the 20th century. Travis McGee is a multi-dimensional character that has flaws and imperfections that don't detract but rather enhance his character.
Which character – as performed by Robert Petkoff – was your favorite?
The way Petkoff transitions to the female voices like Nina is brilliant to listen to. He is consistent throughout and provides a unique dimension to each character as he delivers the lines like a pro.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. I listened to bit and pieces whenever I had a spare moment.

Legendary author!
Travis McGee is a classic mystery character with stunning accolades over the years since his death. Was hoping that someone would play the character in movies, but I don't think they ever did like Clive Cussler's two movies. I've been an audiobook reviewer for 25 years for various magazines, and this author (plus James Lee Burke) are my favorites. You can't go wrong..
