Book review - Travis McGee#4 - "The Quick Red Fox" by John D. MacDonald (1964)

A Hollywood movie star is being blackmailed for participating in a couple of orgies giving McGee the opportunity to be judgey about other people's sex lives. He falls in love with the movie star's assistant (unleashing her sexuality of course) which made me worry for her... she is almost killed though not killed... she reveals at the end she's married, that's how they get rid of her.

He punches out a couple of lesbians, there's a surprisingly high death toll for a blackmail yarn - the baddy is a bit of a psycho. Some colourful characters if not a great mystery.
