Nightmare in Pink is the second novel in the Travis McGee series written by John D. McDonald. It was published concurrently with the first book in the series, The Deep Blue Good-by.[1] In Nightmare in Pink, McGee is asked by a friend from his military days to help his sister Nina in the investigation of her fiancé's death and the large sum of money involved. The book's title is a reference to the inclusion of hallucinogenic drugs as a plot device in the climax. Much of the action takes place in New York City and upstate New York, a departure from McGee's usual haunts in Florida.
