Robert Petkoff
How to you extort $600,000 from a dying man? Someone had done it very quietly and skilfully to the husband of Travis McGee's ex-girlfriend. McGee flies to Chicago to help untangle the mess and discovers that, although Dr. Fortner Geis had led an exemplary life, there were those who'd take advantage of one "indiscretion" and bring down the whole family. McGee also discovers he likes a few members of the family far too much to let that happen....

Many of McGee’s adventures take place in Florida. Having this one set in Chicago is a welcome change. After all, this is the eighth book in the series. It’s best to toss in some variety to keep things interesting for fans of the series, as well as newcomers.
The narrator, as always, does a fine job with guiding the listener through a well-woven tale of mystery and intrigue. I don’t want to get into many more details because that would spoil the story. However, I will say this: if you’ve enjoyed other books in this series, you’ll like this one. It’s another solid read.

- John D. MacDonald, One Fearful Yellow Eye
McGee Does the Second City. I liked it, but didn't love it. Sometimes MacDonald takes McGee away from Florida and it seems to almost work, but I still think I prefer McGee on a boat to McGee in Chicago, in the snow. As a favor to an old flame, McGee goes to Chicago because her ex-husband's estate has been emptied and the relatives all think she did it. McGee looks into the hows and whys of the money disappearing. McGee's views (and I'd presume to a bit MacDonald's) on homosexuals and Blacks appear in this novel and they are nearly there, but only reach the uncanny valley of sensitivity towards other groups:
"I'm always skeptical of the male who makes a big public deal about how he hates fairies, how they turn his stomach, how he'd like to beat the hell out of them. The queens are certainly distasteful, but the average homosexual in the visual and performing arts is usually a human being a little bit brighter and more perceptive than most."
I have to remind myself that this was published in 1966. He is growing. Language like that was seen as progressive in the 60s, in certain circles. Hell, language like that might sound progressive in Texas, Idaho, or Arizona in certain circles now. I seem to always find areas where MacDonald nearly writes a perfect novel, but a couple things just block it for me. He is one of those writers I keep coming back from and keep ending up just a bit frustrated (and not just because I keep wanting to enroll him in sensitivty training classes). His books have the potential for real genius and the more I read the more I see this potential. Individually, however, this book doesn't get close.

Would you listen to One Fearful Yellow Eye again? Why?
Great story with an excellent reader. John D. is an awesome writer with deep insights into human nature.What does Robert Petkoff bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Petkoff makes the characters real. His reading can make your breath stop and your heart pound. Pacing. Characterization. Tone. Awesome!What MacD doesn't write widens your eyes!
