With his New York Times bestselling Doc Ford novels, author Randy Wayne White has been hailed as “the best new writer since Carl Hiaasen” (Denver Post). But decades ago, under the pen name Randy Striker, he was already delivering non-stop thrills with ex–Navy SEAL Dusky MacMorgan, who is about to go to war in a most lethal battleground. MacMorgan is living the good life on his stilt house a mile off Fleming Key. The skies are as blue as the sea, and there’s not a cloud in the sky. But there’s a storm coming in the form of the beautiful April Yarborough. She’s the daughter of an old pal, and she’s come to ask for the kind of help only MacMorgan can provide. The Yarboroughs have been in Florida longer than anyone can remember. Even today, many of them live off the grid, deep in the Everglades. Now, someone is waging a campaign of violence and destruction to drive them off their cherished swampland. And when MacMorgan dives into the fray, he finds that the deadliest danger in the swamp isn’t quicksand or ’gators, but big money—armed with some big guns.

In this thrilling novel from New York Times bestselling author Randy Wayne White, Doc Ford returns to his stilt house on Dinkin's Bay to find an old friend and one-time lover waiting for him. Her real-estate developer husband has disappeared and been pronounced dead, and she's sure there's worse to follow--and she's right. Following the trail, Ford ends up deep in the Everglades, at the gates of a community presided over by a man named Bhagwan Shiva (formerly Jerry Singh). Shiva is big business, but that business has been a little shaky lately, and so he's come up with a scheme to enhance both his cash and his power. Of course, there's the possibility that some people could get hurt and the Everglades itself damaged, but Shiva smells a killing. And if that should turn out to be literally, as well as figuratively, true...well, that's just too damned bad.

A five-hundred-year-old mystery and a twenty-year-old murder haunt Hannah Smith in a stunning adventure by the author of the New York Times-bestselling Doc Ford novels. A fishing guide and part-time investigator, Hannah Smith is a tall, strong Florida woman descended from many generations of tall, strong Florida women. But the problem before her now is much older even than that. And its consequences are lethal. Five hundred years ago, Spanish conquistadors planted the first orange seeds in Florida, but now the billion-dollar industry is in trouble. The trees are dying, weakened by infestation and genetic manipulation, and the only solution might be somehow, somewhere to find sample of the original root stock. No one is better equipped to traverse the swamps and murky backcountry of Florida than Hannah, but once word leaks out of her quest, the trouble begins. "There are people who will kill to find a direct descendant of those first seeds," she is warned--and it looks like those words may be all too prophetic. That is, if the secrets she discovers in the Florida wild about a twenty-year-old murder don't kill her first. Or the fifteen-foot-long Burmese python.

An almost twenty-year-old unsolved murder from Florida’s pot-hauling days gets Hannah Smith’s attention, but so does a more immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state’s earliest settlers and pioneers has been announced, and many of Hannah’s friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being pressured to make contributions. The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to uncover who’s behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped out—and the forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.

Senior Agent CASEY COLLINS, a smart, ambitious, and relentless lead female police detective must stop a pair of serial rapists and killers in Miami, Florida, unearthing a scandal that ricochets from the police force to her own abusive family, and all the way to Governor’s mansion. It starts with a bang in the Prologue, when one of the serial rapists / killers is killed by a mysterious shooter disguised as a police officer. The other serial rapist / killer is wounded in the shootout and also wounds the shooter. The suspense builds as Casey pursues the serial rape and murder suspects, and then the shooter. Casey, a former teenage runaway and young widow, climbed and fought hard to reach her prestigious position in law enforcement. When a series of rapes and homicides plague Florida unabated, mounting clues point to an assailant, or pair of assailants, who may be cops. Casey suspects they may be hiding behind the universal “Police Code of Silence,” notoriously known as the “Blue Curtain,” and puts her life and reputation on the line to begin her investigation. She is outraged that the perpetrators are her brothers in blue, her brothers in blood! Her partner, Agent DARREN TURNER, with whom she trusts her life on a daily basis, is a bit of playboy, and has the hots for local news anchor, television star TINA EVANSTON, a stunning, ambitious, sexy bleached blonde, who has made in-depth coverage of the serial rapes and killings, her obsession on the nightly news. She uses her feminine charms to squeeze the latest tips out of Darren for her exclusive “Breaking News” updates. Casey and Darren catch a break when the pair of perpetrators are captured on grainy, blurry, antiquated security footage leaving a gas station in Southwest Florida. Although their faces aren't clear, they're indeed dressed as police officers and drive away in a police cruiser. What Darren doesn't know is that, more than their police colors, their mannerisms and movements set off traumatic childhood memories for Casey involving her estranged brothers GUS and ANGELO SLAYTON. If her premonition is correct, her reticence to divulge it, will forever destroy her reputation and relationship with the Governor; ruining her career, her only shot at personal happiness, and possibly her life.

When a Crow Indian acquaintance of Tomlinson’s asks him to help recover relics stolen from his tribe, Doc Ford is happy to tag along—but neither Doc nor Tomlinson realize what they’ve let themselves in for. Their search takes them to the part of Central Florida known as Bone Valley, famous primarily for two things: a ruthless subculture of black-marketers who trade in illegal artifacts and fossils, and a multibillion-dollar phosphate industry whose strip mines compromise the very ground they walk on. Neither enterprise tolerates nosy outsiders. For each, public exposure equals big financial losses—and in a region built on a million-year accumulation of bones, there is no shortage of spots in which to hide a corpse. Or two.
