"Heat Islands - The Doc Ford Novels #2"

An unpopular marina owner is found face down in the bay providing a home for crabs and one of the fishing guides has been jailed for the crime. Doc Ford sets out to prove his friend's innocence.

Randy's Comments:
The second Ford novel. To steal a phrase from Desert Storm: Florida is a target rich environment. It's true. Florida attracts predators -- Karl Sutter, the villain in this novel, is real in that anyone can come to this state from anyplace in the world and make claims about their lives, their achievements, that will be accepted without question. Nearly everyone in Florida is a newcomer, and it is the absence of rooted fabric that makes this state an ideal refuge for fakes, liars and predators such as Sutter.
