A review by papi
Bright Orange for the Shroud by John D. MacDonald

3.0

John D. MacDonald...what more needs to be said. The modern knight errant takes up another "outside the fringes" case. He adds to his well-earned tapestry of scars, both physical and emotional, but nevertheless saves the innocent and punishes the evil, extracting a few more months of living expenses along the way. His values and world views don't always coincide with mine, but I like his willingness to throw himself into balancing the scales of justice for the victims of criminal enterprise.

In this sixth volume of the Travis McGee series, that victim is Arthur Wilkinson, a fish out of water who was legally, but unethically, scammed out of everything he owned by a bunch of con artists. McGee makes things right.
