Synopsis

Its cool gulf breezes lured him from a life of danger. Its dark undercurrents threatened to destroy him.

After ten years of living life on the edge, it was hard for Doc Ford to get that addiction to danger out of his system. But spending each day watching the sun melt into Dinkins Bay and the moon rise over the mangrove trees, cooking dinner for his beautiful neighbor, and dispensing advice to the locals over a cold beer lulled him into letting his guard down.

Then Rafe Hollins appeared.

How could he refuse his old friend's request—even if it would put him back on the firing line? Even if it would change forever the life he'd built here on Sanibel Island?

Entertaining and really got going at the end. Blindsided me with an unexpected twist when it was all winding down. It’s funny how I enjoy these main male characters so much but know they would absolutely drive me crazy if I was in a relationship with one of them. Maybe I wish I could be like them. L......more

This is the second Randy Wayne White book I've read. Again, I feel he overdoes the history and biology lessons. Some people might like that, I don't. It took until they got to the village before I really got interested in the book. I wanted to know if they got the kid out alive. That's why I gave it......more

Goodreads review by Howard on February 11, 2011

The first of the Doc Ford mystery novels, but not necessarily the best of the, roughly, 15 Ford titles currently in print. Great summer reading (or for that matter, fall, winter, and spring, too). the novels center on the eponymous Doc Ford, marine biologist living on Dinkin's Bay (a thinly disguise......more
