That series was one of the most enjoyable that I have ever read. As you know, all novels had a color in the title. There was a rumor going around when it became known that John D. was very ill that he had a novel in his files to be published after his death with the color black in the title. Supposedly it would be the novel ending the series and also Travis McGhee's life. After his death, nothing ever was revealed. Either the rumor was false or the book was too "black" to unleash on the public. All in all John D was a very good pulp writer.

Yep, he was great. His death was a shock, because he was just in for "routine" bypass surgery with a 90% or better survival rate. Nobody saw it coming, and there was no "last" TM novel.
