Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-01 00:00:00 Rodrigo Garcia Fernandez This is the 13th offering in Ford's popular Doc Ford mystery/thriller series. Doc Ford is the Florida marine biologist living on Sanibel Island that is attracted to dangerous mysteries'perhaps due to his own NSA history? Using Ford's marine business as an excuse, I enjoy how White inserts details of Florida's rich natural history in his tales. In Dark Light, a Category 4 hurricane has made a boat sunk during another hurricane in 1944 newly accessible. With that, Ford revisits WWII and the boats that elite Nazis used to escape Germany at the end of the war--for the boat contains relics of the Third Reich. But Ford also adds in an unrepentant murderous psychopath, and a bit of magical realism to the tale. Not my favorite Ford thriller.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-17 00:00:00 Patricia Harris Just after a hurricane hit Florida, the fishermen and other denizens of the marina are trying to get their lives back together. An unscrupulous marina owner stole as many boats as he could from the locals under a self serving interpretation of salvage laws. A wreck is uncovered out in the ocean. A mysterious woman wants to bankroll the salvage operation for Doc and Tomlinson. Meanwhile, there's ghosts of old Florida, the residue of a Nazi spy ring, and Doc's got a concussion. A good entry in the series, but a bit more mystical than most.
