About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2015. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Good/No Dust Jacket present.. xviii, [2], 314, [2] pages. Endpaper map. Cover has some wear and soiling. Signed by the author on the fep. Randy Wayne White (born 1950) is an American writer of crime fiction and non-fiction adventure tales. 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. Marion "Doc" Ford, a marine biologist and ex-NSA agent, makes his home on the scenic west coast of Florida--but leaving his former dangerous life behind, where he protected his country by all means necessary, isn't that easy. Old friends asking for favors, dead bodies washing up on Dinkins Bay, diving lessons going horribly wrong ... the shadowy world of Southwest Florida keeps putting Doc Ford in its crosshairs. This thrilling ongoing series by beloved Floridian author Randy Wayne White, which began with Sanibel Flats, has become something of a literary institution, with its perennial bestsellers. The remarkable new novel in the Doc Ford series by New York Times' bestselling author Randy Wayne White. Doc Ford's old friend, General Juan Garcia, has gone into the lucrative business of smuggling Cuban baseball players into the U.S. He is also feasting on profits made by buying historical treasures for pennies on the dollar. He prefers what dealers call HPC items, high-profile collectibles, but when he manages to obtain a collection of letters written by Fidel Castro between 1960-62 to a secret girlfriend, it's not a matter of money anymore. Garcia has stumbled way out of his depth. First Garcia disappears, and then the man to whom he sold the letters. When Doc Ford begins to investigate, he soon becomes convinced that those letters contain a secret that someone, or some powerful agency, cannot allow to be made public. A lot happened between Cuba and the United States from 1960-62. Many men died. A few more will hardly be noticed.
