About This Item
The Detective Book Club produced volumes of three crime novels from 1942 to 1999. Originally monthly, near the end they dwindled down to just a few per year. Many famous detective and crime novelists had their early works featured in DBC editions. Often, books were published in DBC editions before, or at the same time as they were published in mass market form. A little about our authors:
John D MacDonald: Another well known author, MacDonald created the Travis McGee character, whom he featured in 21 novels, each with a different color in the title. MacDonald authored over 45 other novels and four nonfiction books. This is the seventeenth Travis McGee novel.
Elizabeth Peters: A pseudonym used by Barbara Mertz, as Peters she is best known for her Amelia Peabody series, featuring a family of archaeologists exploring Egyptian tombs. Mertz held a PhD in Egyptology. In addition to the 20 Peabody novels, Mertz, as Peters, wrote six Vicky Bliss novels, four Jacqueline Kirby novels and nine stand alone novels. Mertz died in 2013. This is the second of six books in the Vicky Bliss series.
Jon Cleary: Australian Cleary wrote 50 mystery novels over a 61 year span. Twenty of those novels are in the Detective Scobie Malone series. Cleary passed away in 2010. Vortex is a stand alone novel.
Synopsis
The Empty Copper Sea (1978) is the seventeenth novel in the Travis McGee series by John D. Macdonald. In it, McGee looks into the apparent drowning of Hub Lawless in a boating accident. His $2 million insurance policy leads some to believe he has faked his death. Sam Elliott played McGee in the television movie of The Empty Copper Sea, titled Travis McGee (1983).
