Synopsis

Hannah Smith returns in the stunning new adventure in the New York Times–bestselling series by the author of the Doc Ford novels.
 
A fishing guide and part-time investigator, Hannah Smith is a tall, strong Florida woman descended from many generations of the same. But the problem before her now is much older even than that.

Five hundred years ago, Spanish conquistadors planted the first orange seeds in Florida, but now the whole industry is in trouble. The trees are dying at the root, weakened by infestation and genetic manipulation, and the only solution might be somehow, somewhere, to find samples of the original root stock. No one is better equipped to traverse the swamps and murky backcountry of Florida than Hannah, but once word leaks out of her quest, the trouble begins. “There are people who will kill to find a direct descendant of those first seeds,” a biologist warns her—and it looks like his words may be all too prophetic.

About The Author

  Besides the Hannah Smith novels Gone, Deceived, and Haunted, Randy Wayne White is the author of twenty-three Doc Ford novels, most recently Cuba Straits and Deep Blue. He has also published four collections of his columns for Outside magazine and elsewhere. In 2002, a one-hour documentary film called The Gift of the Game, about the author’s trip to Cuba to find the remnants of the Little League teams founded by Ernest Hemingway in the days before Castro, won the Best of the Fest award from the 2002 Woods Hole Film Festival, then was bought by PBS and broadcast in the spring and summer of 2003. A veteran fishing guide who at one time had his own local PBS show, White lives on Sanibel Island, Florida.

Goodreads review by Sandy Kay on September 28, 2016

I really enjoy the Hannah Smith series because I learn interesting information about Florida history and because Hannah Smith is such an interesting character. She is self reliant but she has friends and isn't a "lone wolf" kind of character. This wasn't my favorite book of the series (the first two......more

Goodreads review by Mark on January 08, 2017

I think this was my least favorite in White's "Hannah Smith" series. I always enjoy the scientific research that goes into his books; in this case, the destruction of the Everglades ecosystem by non-native snakes, specifically Pythons, and the search for ancient orange trees that might be disease re......more

Goodreads review by Joyce on April 11, 2017

White fans know that Hannah Smith was at one time involved with Doc Ford and that she is a fishing guide and PI. She is brave and intractable and can readily handle most situations she runs into. In this novel she meets a twenty foot Python in the Everglades along with some rally bad men. The story......more

Quotes

PRAISE FOR SEDUCED

“Her fourth outing may be her best to date, with a particularly effective climactic sequence that knots together every menace, and every sorrow, she faces.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Fans of mysteries that show an appreciation of the great outdoors will love this gun-toting, plane-flying, boat-living heroine.”— Booklist

PRAISE FOR THE HANNAH SMITH SERIES

“Hannah Smith is a big woman, tall and strong, a fishing guide and a part-time investigator. She traces her Southwest Florida family back generations—the area’s history is hers as well. She is a perfect foil for Doc Ford. Each is reliable, steadfast, boat- and weather-savvy, and neither can pass up a wrong that needs righting.” —Orlando Sentinel
