Synopses & Reviews
The stunning new thriller—the twentieth Doc Ford novel—from the New York Times–bestselling author. Both Doc Ford and his friend Tomlinson have buried secrets. Now one of those secrets is about to come alive—with a vengeance.
While trying to solve one of Florida’s most profound secrets, Doc Ford is the target of a murder attempt by someone who wants to make it look like an accident. Or is the target actually Tomlinson? Whatever the answer, the liveaboards and fishing guides at Dinkin’s Bay on Sanibel Island are becoming increasingly nervous—and wary—after a near-poisoning, a plane crash, and an explosion make it apparent that Ford and Tomlinson are dangerous companions.
What their small family of friends don’t know is that their secret pasts make it impossible for the two of them to go to the law for help. There is an assassin on the loose, and it is up to them to find the killer—before he (or she) finishes the job.

Review
Praise for the first Hannah Smith novel, GONE
“After 19 manly adventures starring Doc Ford, White introduces a heroine whos just as stubborn and capable and even more appealing.” - Kirkus
“Hannah and Ford make for two powerhouse characters. GONE illustrates that White is constantly sharpening his storytelling arsenal.” - South Florida Sun Sentinel
“As always with a White novel, the writing is solid, the maritime setting is vividly drawn, and the plot ripples with danger and suspense. Hannah is an intriguing character who has the makings of a solid series character in her own right.” - Associated Press
“Hannahs methodology relies far more on her deep knowledge of the people of the coastal Florida community and her ability to connect with them. Shes unfazed by anything she encounters. White lets Hannah handle things on her own, and Im guessing many of his fans will look forward to seeing her do it again.” - St. Petersburg Times

Synopsis
It began peacefully enough, on one of Florida's private islands.
At a reception hosted by a notorious Russian black marketeer, Doc Ford uses darkness, and his friend Tomlinson, as cover to get an underwater look at the billionaire's yacht. By the time Ford surfaces, everything has changed.
Environmental extremists have taken control of the island. Or are they thugs hired by the Russian's competitors? Whatever the motive, they have herded everyone together and threatened to kill one hostage every hour until midnight unless their demands are met-at which point they will just blow everybody up.
Electronic jammers make communications with the outside world impossible. The only hope of avoiding terrible consequences: The militants do not know Ford's capabilities, or that he is still on the loose. But that situation won't last for long . . . and the clock is ticking.
