Summary

White takes a break from his New York Times best-selling Doc Ford books to launch a new series starring Hannah Smith, one tough cookie first seen as a secondary character in Whites Captiva. Here, Smith is asked to find a missing girl. Never fear, White keeps us in Florida.


Randy Wayne White has long been known for suspenseful plots, complex characters, and an extraordinary sense of place. His new series has them all--and then some.

Hannah Smith: a tall, strong, formidable Florida woman, the descendant of generations of strong Florida women. She makes her living as a fishing guide, but her friends, neighbors, and clients also know her as an uncommonly resourceful woman with a keen sense of justice--someone who can't be bullied--and they have taken to coming to her with their problems.

Her methods can be unorthodox, though, and those on the receiving end of them often wind up very unhappy--and sometimes very violent. And when a girl goes missing, and Hannah is asked to find her, that is exactly what happens. . . .
