"One of the most satisfying thrillers in recent memory."--Chicago Tribune

"This latest entry in the Doc Ford series is one of the strongest...A taut story of modern greed and violence. Plenty of great twists...make this one of the most satisfying thrillers in recent memory."--Chicago Tribune"We can't think of a better way to spend a summer afternoon than curled up with this book...A wild dangerous adventure...Breathless action."--The Denver Post

"A powerful look at Florida's heart of darkness...A rapid-fire tale that will snare readers like a treble hook...No on around today writes as well about Florida...Rough-edged and violent...One of the best in a series that is as good as anything being written today."--The Tampa Tribune

"When it comes to Florida, White is positively lyrical...Marvelous description, good plotting, and plenty of action."--Florida Times-Union"No one evokes life along the sultry mangrove coast of Southwest Florida as perfectly...White's best book yet."--Albuquerque Tribune

"White...can be counted on to produce the real goods...And although he's subtle about the atmospherics, when White cranks up the momentum, he tosses in everything."--The Palm Beach Post"Fast-paced...This is Key Largo meets Wild Kingdom."--The News and Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)

"White writes with an obvious knowledge and love of Florida's west coast, an intimacy made possible only by living here, and one which helps make the book a pleasant summer escape."--Sarasota Herald-Tribune
