John D. McDonald's Travis McGee series (the 19th of the series). One of America's leading storytellers.

A girl in a coma inherits a fortune when tycoon, Ellis Esterland was beaten to death at a stop on the Florida Turnpike. The girl, his daughter, lies unconscious, never to recovery from a road accident. When she dies a few weeks later, the significant fortune passes to the estranged wife, Josie, and to Josie's weird friend, Kesner, a film maker.

Esterland's son, Ron, got nothing. Ron hires McGee, promising him half the inheritance if McGee can discover the truth about the unsolved murder. "People who arrange a man's death, even if he's already dying, shouldn't inherit." Ron says. What a tangles trail and the quick McGee to entertain readers. I could not put it down.
