Ik kleedde me aan en ging naar buiten om een luchtje te scheppen en een sigaret te roken. Toen ik buiten stond, viel opeens de sigaret uit mijn vingers : alsof iemand mijn hand in bezit name en de vingers open boog. Het was alsof ik terug werd gedrongen naar een klein hoekje van mijn geest vanwaar ik wel naar buiten kon kijken, maar verder helemaal niets.' 'Hypnose zeker,' zei Sachson zuur. 'Ik weet het niet.

A fishing trip is anything but relaxing when Travis McGee is involved. As McGee and his friend Meyer settle down to some midnight casting, a woman falls into the water from the bridge above them. Her name is Evangeline, and the hints she gives about the events leading to her near drowning suggest a less than pristine past. But McGee has saved her, and now he wants to see her make a new life—even if it means confronting a gang of murderers that makes his blood run cold. “John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in his field.”—Mary Higgins Clark Evangeline may be the intended target in a complex scheme, but she’s no ordinary victim.
