In Pale Gray for Guilt, Travis McGee takes a close look at a new waterfront industrial complex that a group of land developers are planning in the name of "progress." Only one thing stands in their way: Tush Bannon's 10-acre marina. Bannon won't sell. After Bannon's freak "accident," however, his widow is more than willing to unload the property for almost nothing -- until Travis McGee, who doesn't like bad things to happen to a pal, engineers a few financial tricks that leave Bannon's greedy killers bedazzled, broke -- and worse.
