Synopsis

The past comes disconcertingly alive for Doc Ford in Randy Wayne White’s most electrifying novel yet.

On a working vacation to Guava Key, marine biologist Doc Ford notices two female joggers who follow the same route at the same time every day. He can’t help thinking how easy it would be for a predator to become aware of them, too.

As it turns out, he isn’t the only one. There seem to be more and more predators these days.

Forced to step in, Ford finds himself involved in a story of intrigue and revenge that becomes more dangerous with every turn—and some of them hit pretty close to home. Add to that a Bahamian relative he never knew he had, a letter leading to a treasure that may or may not
exist, and some past history that becomes very alarmingly present, and his life has suddenly become very complicated. Not to mention the prospect of his death. …

Filled with crackling power and atmosphere, and some of the best suspense characters in fiction, Shark River is a triumph of storytelling.

In this thriller, Doc Ford is a marine biologist with a black past. He was an off the books, outside the law, super duper trained government killer charged with keeping America safe by any means necessary. Get it pilgrim? The writing is good, and the characters pretty well developed,especially his B......more

Goodreads review by Edwin on October 07, 2024

I picked this up in a book swap at Edinburgh airport and never expected to give it more than one star. It’s a Floridian Steven Seagal type Marine Biologist who gets into all sorts of scrapes and pretends he’s James Bond at every waking moment. It was so fun though. Also, the author is genuinely a go......more

The climax of this book happened at about the 96% mark. Seems like the ending was rushed. Has some good characters.......more

Goodreads review by Robert on January 11, 2020

Reading this series in order (though one doesn't necessarily have to), I'm impressed with how the author has thus far been able to keep the stories fresh. He brings in new characters, disposes of others, keeps the series alive and moving. This was one of his better books thus far. Looking forward to......more
