Imagine the worst that can happen. Then imagine again. The stunning new Doc Ford novel by the New York Times–bestselling author.
Award-winning veteran narrator George Guidall gives a masterful performance of White's latest Doc Ford suspense thriller, creating well-drawn characters, including a grizzled ex-wrestler, two Cuban kidnappers, a teenage boy, a snobby Hamptons millionaire and Ford's hippie colleague. The scenes in which Ford painstakingly pieces together clues and provides backstory tend to drag a bit, but the action sequences are gripping and nail-bitingly suspenseful. Mystery fans are well advised to snatch this one up. A Putnam hardcover (Reviews, Jan. 19). (Mar.)

December 05, 2009: Classic Doc Ford story, full of unexpected twists and turns, somewhat out of its element as most of the story takes place outside Florida (New York, Long Island, etc).

October 17, 2009: I wait for each new publication. This book was not up to the standards of RRW. It had muddled thinking, no continuity, much confusion re: characters and plot.
