Publisher Description

A category four hurricane has swept the west coast of Florida, creating havoc, changing lives, and reshaping the ocean bottom. Well-known reefs and wrecks have been covered up, and new ones have emerged.

The old woman who visits Doc Ford's lab late one night has a haunting story, of a loved one lost while rendezvousing with a German submarine off the coast of Florida 60 years earlier, of her belief that he was being blackmailed and that the storm has given her a second chance to prove his innocence by uncovering the wreck of his boat, and the truth, if only Ford would look for it. Intrigued, Ford agrees, and sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life forever. For there are other things in that wreck as well, and other men want those things, men willing to commit terrible acts to get them. And the woman herself, the woman is not what she seems.

"This is a new author for me and I chose to read this book because I am somewhat familiar with the setting, which made it fun to read. The story is set in modern day Fl but involves early history of the area at the time that Edison lived in the area. It involves history related to WW II and Nazi history in Fl. It is also the story of a woman and a man both in history and in present time. Well-written. Good read."

    " This book seems a bit better than the last couple of Doc Ford stories I have read, but still falls short of White's earlier goes. This one had a bit of of a metaphysical feel to it had me wondering just who the woman in the old grey house really was. The history of Florida during WWII was a nice touch, but you can always count on RWW to teach us something. A cut above his latest, but not his best IMHO. "

    " This was a strange one. Not your usual Doc Ford adventure - very dreamlike with reality 'iffy'. Takes place immediately following the previous book with Doc still suffering from his injuries & kind of 'out of it'. Mysticism, ghosts, spirits. Is this whole book just a dream? "

    " This sucker took a while to get off the ground. Even when it did, this was generic and flat. It also managed to force moments of his religious (or lack thereof) beliefs. It was awkward and intentional. It held enough interesting moments though to give it two rather than 1 stars. "
