Synopses & Reviews
Later, my conscience would play the inevitable game of "What if..." What if I had stopped by Jobe's home on Friday morning instead of Sunday night? What if I hadn't interrupted the two people who were alternately interrogating and beating him? Would he have lived? Or would he have died? And what would have happened then?
It started when Doc Ford got a call from his old friend Frieda Matthews; her reclusive biologist brother, Jobe, wasn't answering the phone could Doc check up on him? Ford can't think of a reason not to, but soon he will think of a hundred. Not only will it be one of the worst scenes he has ever encountered, the consequences will draw him into the heart of a nightmare. A catastrophe is coming to Florida, and just maybe there is something Ford can do about it but he doesn't know how or where or when...or even if he is already too late.
Brimming with the remarkable prose and rich atmosphere that have won White so many fans already, and featuring some of the best characters in suspense fiction today, Dead of Night is White's biggest thriller yet.

"In Dead of Night, White avoids the meandering that stalled his recent novels. But Dead of Night never rises to the standards of the early Ford novels when White was a fresh voice in Florida mysteries." South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Review
A terrific story....Dead of Night is written in a crisp, lean and muscular style....Dead of Night is everything you look for in a thriller and more. Miami Herald
Review
"Not much story, but Doc's fans are used to that. What might bother a few, though, is a certain lack of engagement, as if even Doc can't take the goings-on all that seriously." Kirkus Reviews
