This may be one of the strangest. <p/>A legendary charter captain and guide named Tootsie Barlow has come to him, muttering about a curse. The members of his extended family have suffered a bizarre series of attacks, and Barlow is convinced it has something to do with a multiple murder in 1925, in which his family had a shameful part. <p/>Ford doesn't believe in curses, but as he and his friend Tomlinson begin to investigate, following the trail of the attacks from Key Largo to Tallahassee, they, too, suffer a series of near-fatal mishaps.

It's a crazy idea, and some crazy developments trail in its wake, but it works."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/> "Showcases a quirky, ever-endearing cast...and, of course, White's natural facility for old-school action. [P]lus there's a spectacular face-off at the end ...that will have fans remembering some of John D. MacDonald's grisliest villains. Hugely entertaining, especially for longtime fans."--<i>Booklist</i><b> <p/>Praise for <i>Deep Blue<br></i></b><br> "[A] high-tech, grand-scale adventure. White makes particularly good use of [the] always-potent crime-fiction theme--the knight errant who inadvertently brings trouble home to those he loves....This twenty-third Doc Ford novel will quickly assume its reserved seat on the <i>New York Times </i>and most other best-seller lists."--<i>Booklist </i>(starred review) <p/> "Lively characters, enough action for three summer blockbusters, and plenty of plot twists make this a great addition to the bestselling series."--<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br> "As with every Doc Ford story, the writing is tight and the story fast-paced...[Fans of] thriller heroes from James Bond to Jason Bourne will find a lot to like."--Associated Press <p/> "A trip to the Gulf Coast with Doc Ford is never dull...and White doesn't skimp on the action....This marine biologist increasingly lets his clandestine life as a government operative take him away from his quiet Sanibel Island home [and White] continues to find fresh ways to bring Ford into the chaos of world politics."--<i>South Florida Sun-Sentinel<br></i><br> "White continues to impress with detail and description of the high-tech marvels that have become a part of everyman's life....<i>Deep Blue</i> is the author at his best. You will want to say 'He is back, ' but he never left." --<i>The Florida Times-Union</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Randy Wayne White</b> is the author of the Doc Ford novels, the Hannah Smith novels, and four collections of nonfiction.
