Marine biologist and former secret operative Doc Ford is lazily poling his skiff along Southwest Florida's flat copper sea in search of sea anemones when he runs into the body of the most hated man on Sanibel Island--Marvin Rios. And when the Island's simplest and sweetest resident is arrested for the murder, Doc heads straight into the heart of the sunshine state's dark side--to save his friend from being framed, and to save Sanibel Island from a rising tide of land-grab schemes, blood money, and violence.
About the author
This is
Randy Wayne White's twenty-third Doc Ford book. He has also had four collections of his columns for
Outside magazine and elsewhere published--and the new Hannah Smith series has debuted with
Gone,
Deceived, and
Haunted. In 2002, a one-hour documentary film called
The Gift of the Game, about White's trip to Cuba to find the remnants of the Little League teams founded by Ernest Hemingway in the days before Castro, won the Best of the Fest Award from the 2002 Woods Hole Film Festival, then was bought by PBS and broadcast station by station in the spring and summer of 2003. A veteran fishing guide who at one time had his own local PBS show, he lives in an old house on an Indian mound in Pineland, Florida.
