    About this audiobook

    When solitary marine biologist Doc Ford focused his telescope on the woman in the white boat, he didn't know his life was about to be capsized: that his conniving uncle Tucker Gatrell would discover the Fountain of Youth, that the National Enquirer would write about it, and that the law would beat down his door in search of three missing men.

    But Doc Ford is about to find these things out-the hard way. Because in the shadowy world of Southwest Florida, where gators yawn, cattle craze, and Indian bones are buried, mysteries great and small have found the man to solve them.

    • 1/5
      Dime store version of a mystery book with a troped conclusion
    • 5/5
      Most of the characters seem to be trapped in the past in this book of the series fighting to decide whether or not to stay.
    • 1/5
      Just couldn't take some of the 'voices' of the narrator so didn't stick it out. Really wish someone else would re-record this book.
