| Plot Summary of Dress Her in Indigo |
|---|
"
The drug business is big time! And Travis McGee comes face to face with this evil
in “Dress Her in Indigo.” Bix Bowie, a lovely young woman, has become hopelessly
involved with her addiction and Travis takes on the responsibility of investigating. He tries
to follow her trail--which means across the Mexican border and dealing with a world of
social dropouts, rejects, and dope peddlers. On his way, he thinks he has the culprit, but
Rocko, one mean dude, is found flayed from the waist down. This throws an obstacle in
Travis' hunt, as now he has to look elsewhere--and to bigger circles. Ultimately, he
succeeds, but not before some of the biggest challenges of his life!
