Synopsis

Murder, sunken treasure, and pirates both ancient and modern send Doc Ford on a nightmare quest in this New York Times bestseller in Randy Wayne White's thrilling series.

Marine biologist Doc Ford has been known to help his friends out of jams occasionally, but he's never faced a situation like this.

His old pal Carl Fitzpatrick has been chasing sunken wrecks most of his life, but now he's run afoul of the Florida Division of Historical Resources. Its director, Leonard Nickelby, despises amateur archaeologists, which is bad enough, but now he and his young "assistant" have disappeared--along with Fitzpatrick's impounded cache of rare Spanish coins and the list of uncharted wreck sites Fitz spent decades putting together. Some of Fitz's own explorations have been a little...dicey, so he can't go to the authorities. Doc is his only hope.

But greed makes people do terrible things: rob, cheat, even kill. With stakes this high, there's no way the thieves will go quietly--and Doc's just put himself in their crosshairs.

This novel reads like the last book of a series. A treasure seeking friend of Ford's is in trouble with the government, and some low level bureaucrat has stolen treasure, and clues to another treasure. Ford goes looking for him, and meets up with an island of inbreds, pirates, and assorted other low......more

So-so entry in Randy Wayne White's Doc Ford series...Doc's on a "road trip" in the Bahamas on the trail of an archeology professor in a "mid-life crisis" with a former female student...they're on a hunt for lost Spanish treasure...plenty of cultural background & an interesting background on the "tre......more

Goodreads review by Joan

The latest read by Randy Wayne White + his book has gotten only fair reviews from other commenters. It's a light read + I enjoyed the adventure, though Doc Ford wasn't truly a main character in this edition. We see a lot of Tomlinson who, of course, I love: the hippie that seems to appeal to women.......more

Goodreads review by Russell

I really like Randy Wayne White and the Doc Ford books. They can be hit or miss. This is definitely a miss. His character dialogue seems so, how to describe it...vague. As if he is trying to not give things away by having his characters interact vaguely. And the book kept introducing new characters......more

Goodreads review by Ed

#25 in the Doc Ford series. I love this series but in this turgid 2018 entry, author White has tried to shoehorn in too much of his research. In addition to the main story arc, we have protagonist Doc realizing that the dive master he is chatting up is his second cousin, Tomlinson arrives and gets i......more


Quotes

Praise for Caribbean Rim

“Hats off to White for combining suspense and madcap adventure with such dexterity...Being an under-the-radar kind of guy, Doc Ford is likely not too happy at the way his adventures keep turning up on best-seller lists, but he’d better deal with it; the trend isn’t about to change.”—Booklist
