GIRL IN THE PLAIN BROWN WRAPPER.

by John D. MacDonald.

OVERVIEW:
Helena Pearson.  Undeniably beautiful . . . indisputably rich . .  incredibly wanton . . . the perfect client for Travis McGee.  He did a big favor for her husband and then for the lady herself.  Now Helena is dead, and McGee finds out that she had one last request to make of him: find out why her beautiful daughter, Maurie, keeps trying to kill herself.  So, half-convinced that Maurie needs a good doctor and not a devil-may-care beach bum, McGee makes his way to the prosperous town of Fort Courtney, Florida, a respectable, booming, deadly little place. . . .
