Another great addition to the Doc Ford Serries
A friend in the book industry got me an advance copy of Dead of Night, and I devoured it within 48 hours, that involved one dead of night reading jag! I must say the Doc Ford books just seem to get better. This is a big complement from me as I usually find Serries books go stale after awhile. This has stayed fresh because of the writers brillant ability to creat real characters with real emotion. His plots also make sense and not contrived to fit the action. You don't start to feel like you have read this somewhere before.

In this installment the good Doctor is up against and evil plot to murder just about everyone he knows. It starts out when he finds his friend reclusive Biologist Jobe Applebee murdered in a grusome fashion I don't want to spoil the surprise, but it is a very novel way to murder someone. To make matters worse there is no evidence to point to might have donme such a thing? Doc is force to start his investigation from square one.

Part of the plot involves the release of exoctic critters that cause damage to the enviroment and humans and I found this an interesting plot premise (I wont say more cause I don't want to spoil the read). Doc suspects -- eco terrioist, or maybe greedy land developers trying to reduce the value of land they want to buy, or maybe something else? Whatever the case he better figure it out quick or he won't have any friends left! So jump on for another roller coaster ride of a thriller by Randy Wayne White!

Oh yeah, check out "A Tourist in the Yucatan" Cool thriller set in the jungles of Quintana Roo!
