Synopsis

The sins of the past come back to haunt Doc Ford and his old friend Tomlinson in this thrilling new novel from New York Times-bestselling author Randy Wayne White.

Marine biologist and former government agent Doc Ford is sure he's beyond the point of being surprised by his longtime pal Tomlinson's madcap tales of his misspent youth. But he's stunned anew when avowed bachelor Tomlinson reveals that as a younger man strapped for cash, he'd unwittingly fathered multiple children via for-profit sperm bank donations. Thanks to genealogy websites, Tomlinson's now-grown offspring have tracked him down, seeking answers about their roots. . . but Doc quickly grows suspicious that one of them might be planning something far more nefarious than a family reunion.

With recent history on his mind, Doc is unsurprised when his own dicey past is called into question. Months ago, he'd quietly "liberated" a cache of precious Spanish coins from a felonious treasure hunter, and now a number of unsavory individuals, including a disgraced IRS investigator and a corrupt Bahamian customs agent, are after their cut. Caught between watching his own back and Tomlinson's, Doc has no choice but to get creative--before rash past decisions escalate to deadly present-day dangers.

Is that you Randy? Seemed like someone else wrote this one. Rather choppy. But I'm no expert...and doesn't change the fact that I am a huge fan. From his nonfiction to his fiction, I immensely enjoy reading about the area I grew up in. I find myself googling many different topics brought up in his bo......more

Full admission here: For someone who prides herself on reading every well-known and not-so-well-known series mystery writer on the planet, I somehow had missed Randy Wayne White. His backlist is impressive, to say the least, and I am all up for finding treasure troves of popular mystery/thriller aut......more

Goodreads review by Mark on July 16, 2020

"Salt River" is the latest of the Randy Wayne White's "Universe" of biologist/CIA undercover operative Marion "Doc" Ford...I can't help but see the resemblance, in this series, with John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee series (Travis and Doc as well as Meyer and Tomlinson)...In this latest entry, we hav......more


Quotes

“[A] good time is had by all."—Kirkus Reviews

“As always, the fruit of White's research—this time, on deep-sea treasure hunting, red tides, and the technique of 'confused insemination'—will hold readers rapt on its own, supported, of course, by Doc's good heart and Tomlinson's mercurial personality.”—Booklist

“Another rollicking adventure (and cliff-hanger ending) from White that will have them hooting.”—Florida Times-Union
