Government agent-turned-marine biologist Doc Ford sails an endless sea of questions when he agrees to investigate a death from the past. Years ago, off Florida's Gulf Coast, a teenaged girl found an ancient gold medallion. Then, she began having nightmares. Then she was found hanging from a tree.

Now, years later, the girl's mother is being terrorized with break-ins, phone calls with no one there--and her daughter's grave has been dug up. Somebody wants that medallion.

The search for answers will lead Doc through a shadowy world of ancient ritual and modern corruption, to an evil that was born in the past--but lives in the present...

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

Fifteen years before, in the labyrinth of mangrove, sawgrass, and swamp called the Ten Thousand Islands, off Florida's Gulf coast, a fifteen-year-old girl with a gift for finding things unearthed a four-hundred-year-old gold medallion, a relic of the Calusa Indians. Then she began having nightmares. And then she was found hanging from the limb of a tree. An accident, ruled the coroner, but now Doc Ford isn't so sure. Strange things have been happening recently, the girl's mother tells him. Her home has been broken into; the phone rings and there's no one there; and, worst of all, her daughter's grave has been dug up. Someone suddenly wants that medallion--but why, and why now? The search for the answers will lead Ford into a labyrinth of another kind, a maze of ancient ritual and modern greed, and, finally, to a place of infinite evil. . . Filled with crackling prose and atmosphere, and some of the best characters in suspense fiction, Ten Thousand Islands is a triumph of storytelling. *** Quantity Available: 1.
