Item description from seller

xx, [4], 310, [2] pages. Map. Signed by the author on the half-title page, adding Sanibel. Doc Ford's Rum Bar and Grill bookmark laid in. DJ has minor wear and soiling. Autographed by the Author sticker on front of DJ. Randy Wayne White (born 1950) is an American writer of crime fiction and nonfiction adventure tales. After graduating in 1968, he spent time in travel before settling in Southwest Florida in 1972. After "traveling" for five years after high school, White worked for the Fort Myers News-Press for four years during which time he obtained a captain's license. He then bought a used charter boat and operated as a light-tackle fishing guide at the Tarpon Bay Marina on Sanibel Island for thirteen years. He has written New York Times best-selling novels and has received awards for his fiction and a television documentary. He is best known for his series of crime novels featuring the retired NSA agent Doc Ford, a marine biologist living on the Gulf Coast of southern Florida. White has contributed material on a variety of topics to numerous magazines and has lectured across the United States. A resident of Southwest Florida since 1972, he lives on Sanibel Island, where he is active in South Florida civic affairs and owns the restaurant Doc Ford's Sanibel Rum Bar & Grill. Murder, sunken treasure, and pirates both ancient and modern send Doc Ford on a nightmare quest in this New York Times bestseller in Randy Wayne White's thrilling series. Marine biologist Doc Ford has been known to help his friends out of jams occasionally, but he's never faced a situation like this. His old pal Carl Fitzpatrick has been chasing sunken wrecks most of his life, but now he's run afoul of the Florida Division of Historical Resources. Its director, Leonard Nickelby, despises amateur archaeologists, which is bad enough, but now he and his young "assistant" have disappeared--along with Fitzpatrick's impounded cache of rare Spanish coins and the list of uncharted wreck sites Fitz spent decades putting together. Some of Fitz's own explorations have been a little.dicey, so he can't go to the authorities. Doc is his only hope. But greed makes people do terrible things: rob, cheat, even kill. With stakes this high, there's no way the thieves will go quietly--and Doc's just put himself in their crosshairs. Derived from a Kirkus review: Looks like Dr. Marion Ford's latest research project in marine biology will have to wait for yet another tangle, his 25th, with members of a lower species. Doc Ford tells everyone who'll listen that he's come to the Bahamas to continue his study of sharks' responses to the sound of boat engines. Even though he has official documents to support his story, it's not the whole story; he's really looking for archaeologist Leonard Nickelby, a former professor who ended his partnership with aging treasure hunter Carl Fitzpatrick by running off with three antique coins and a logbook recording all the best places Fitzpatrick had to search for booty. It turns out that Nickelby and his former student Lydia Johnson, who's injecting him with the testosterone she's scored from her stint in a veterinary practice, are after bigger, more recent booty: the $400 million Lydia's former boss, con man Jimmy Jones, had skimmed from Benthic Exploration and managed to hide somewhere before Nickelby's testimony helped send him to prison, where he was killed a few weeks ago. As Ford's search for the searchers leads him first to dive-shack owner Tamarinda Constance then to Hubert "Sandman" Purcell, the trawler captain she spurned, his old pal Seagard Tomlinson learns that Ford's not the only one looking for the people who are looking for the treasure. From this point on, felonies pop up faster than barnacles on a boat's hull. So many characters are hiding so many secrets that so many other characters learn something about that it's no surprise to find ad hoc alliances sprouting and dissolving hours later. The extravagant criminal tally includes im.
