Cinnamon Skin (1982) is the twentieth novel in the Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald. Like a few other books in the series, McGee ends up traveling to Mexico to solve a crime.

The title of the book comes from a passage in Chapter 26.^[1] The passage reads as follows:

"You smell like cinnamon and you have the right color. Cinnamon skin."

"My God, McGee, can't you come up with something more original."

"I thought it was."

She laughed. "It's a song, you idiot. Piel Canela: Cinnamon Skin. They sing it all over Mexico. ..."
