Publisher's summary

Its cool gulf breezes lured him from a life of danger. Its dark undercurrents threatened to destroy him. After 10 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?

The doctor is in: listen to more of our Doc Ford thrillers.

Liked story-not performance!

Dick Hill's performance Is way too over the top. Whiney (is this a word) sub-characters & ersatz Spanish accents just wear you out after a very short time. It seems that Hill's performance is more important than the plot and thus overshadows the story. I think I will avoid him in the future!

A decent modern Who Done It

I normally prefer period murder mysteries, such as Agatha Christie, but this was a decent modern story. After visiting Sanibel Island and eating at Doc Ford's restaurant, I decided I should give this series a whirl. Normally don't prefer male authors, especially if there's romance involved, but he addressed it so-so (not too graphic and gross), although I wouldn't want to be listening (to those parts) aloud. The main character is likable, so I may continue on with the series. The romance part was minimal, and he stayed on track with the murder mystery. There was some Indiana Jones type, archaeological mystery to it, so that made it interesting.

Well Done

I enjoyed my first of many stories from one of Florida’s best authors. The narration was excellent and the exciting story kept me on my toes. I especially loved hearing about life on Sanibel, a community I’m so fond of.

REALISTIC AND GREAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

This could be a true story. It is an exciting one. The way the author paints with his words, the reader is left with a wonderful, dramatic, exciting image, and a thirst for what will happen next. Great read.

Started Strong, Ran Out Of Steam

It was a fine, tropical thriller. Nothing too memorable but was able to finish. Doubt I’ll come back to the series though.
