      Synopsis

      Unabridged CDs • 9 CDs, 11 hours

      Imagine the worst that can happen. Then imagine again. The stunning new Doc Ford novel by the New York Times–bestselling author.

      Publishers Weekly

      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.)

      What a disappointment!by quirkylady

      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.

      May 18, 2009: The entire series is one of my favorite. This is a realistic character and the descriptions of Florida are always enticing. It is comforting to have a familiar character to come back to but the surprise is how Doc develops throughout the series. Life's happenstances have an effect on us all and Randy Wayne White builds on this in an effective manner. Start with the first one, "Captiva Island" and read your way through. The books are really great beach reads or rainy day indulgences because each chapter lures you in to the next. Even the end of a book only makes you want to rush out and buy the next one so you can continue the journey with Doc and Thomlinson. I am already impatiently waiting for the next release.
