The Quick Red Fox by John D. MacDonald

An old friend, John D. MacDonald and one of the Travis McGee books. This one was from 1964, and surprisingly, not too dated. "The Quick Red Fox" is about a Hollywood megastar who has a remarkable indiscretion that gets caught on film by a blackmailer. Travis gets lots of inducements to cheat and steal, but of course, anyone who lives in The Busted Flush would rise above that. There are lots of characters involved, but MacDonald makes it all flow. It is a page-turner, one that kept me up late so I could finish it.
