About this listen
Marine biologist and former secret operative Doc Ford is lazily poling his skiff along Southwest Florida's flat copper sea in search of sea anemones when he runs into the body of the most hated man on Sanibel Island: Marvin Rios. And when the Island's simplest and sweetest resident is arrested for the murder, Doc heads straight into the heart of the sunshine state's dark side - to save his friend from being framed, and to save Sanibel Island from a rising tide of land-grab schemes, blood money, and violence.
The doctor is in: listen to more of our Doc Ford thrillers.©1992 Randy Wayne White (P)2010 TantorListeners also enjoyed...

Its cool gulf breezes lured him from a life of danger. Its dark undercurrents threatened to destroy him. After 10 years of living life on the edge, it was hard for Doc Ford to get that addiction to danger out of his system. But spending each day watching the sun melt into Dinkins Bay and the moon rise over the mangrove trees, cooking dinner for his beautiful neighbor, and dispensing advice to the locals over a cold beer lulled him into letting his guard down.

The world’s shark population is in trouble for a sad, simple reason: shark fin soup. And although it’s illegal, poachers have been targeting Florida’s biannual migration of blacktip sharks. Marine biologist Doc Ford needs some assistance protecting the sharks and enlists the help of three kids - Luke, Maribel, and Sabina. Luke is brand-new to Florida from the Midwest; sisters Maribel and Sabina have only recently arrived from Cuba - and all three feel like fish out of water. It’s going to take some convincing for them to work as a team.

not one of RWW best.
the story meandered, it just did not keep my attention like many of the doc Ford books. hopefully the next one will be more to my liking. also, the naration was just plodding along, a better narrator would have helped some.

Love this series
I love the story line and the scenery in the books always interesting listens. Love the settings and the characters. Little bit old fashioned but still good

Distracting Narrator
I generally like the Doc Ford series but this is not the best one. The main problem is the narrator. He has a nice voice but is not a very good actor. His accents are mostly corny and the accent for Tomlinson is all over the place. Probably worth reading but I struggled to get through this performance.

Even Better Than The First
I'm new to RWW and Doc Ford, as this is my second read/listen to RWW's work. I very much enjoyed Sanibel Flats, but I find that The Heat Islands is even better, which, I hope, bodes well for the future entries I hope to read down the road. The writing is nicely paced, and the characters are well drawn and memorable. I'll be starting The Man Who Invented Florida next, and I highly recommend The Heat Islands.
