Unlike most detectives in mystery/detective fiction, McGee is neither a police officer nor a private investigator; instead, he is a self-described "salvage consultant" who recovers others' property for a fee of 50%. McGee appeared in 21 novels, from "The Deep Blue Good-by" in 1964 to "The Lonely Silver Rain" in 1984. In 1980, the McGee novel "The Green Ripper" won the National Book Award. All 21 books have the theme of a color in the title, one of the earliest examples of detective/mystery fiction series to have a 'title theme' (e.g. the Sue Grafton] 'alphabet' series; Janet Evanovich's 'number' series of Stephanie Plum books, etc.) The Long Lavender Look ( 1970 ) is the twelfth novel in the Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald . After the preceding book , Dress Her in Indigo , which was largely set in Mexico , The Long Lavender Look not only returns to McGee 's usual haunt of Florida , but is almost entirely set in one tiny town deep in the rural part of the state . The plot begins when McGee and Meyer are driving late at night down a deserted Florida highway , when a young woman , barefoot and clad only in a nightgown , dashes across the road just in front of the car . McGee swerves and just barely misses her , but his car is thrown into ten feet of swamp water . Soon after and to their surprise , McGee and Meyer find themselves arrested , and McGee charged with murder . The Lonely Silver Rain (1985) is the 21st and final novel in the Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald.

It is also notable for the introduction of McGee's daughter Jean, who he unwittingly (but not unwillingly) sired with the now-deceased love interest Puss Killian from the ninth book in the series: "Pale Gray for Guilt". At the end of the book McGee has taken all of his cash in hand except for a few hundred dollars and placed it in a trust fund for his newly met teenage daughter, and needs to go back to work as a "salvage consultant." The author's death prevented any further development of this new character and plot line.
