Sanibel Flats<\/a><\/em> (1990) Randy Wayne White<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Doc Ford has lead an exciting life, and he is more than ready for his move to the beach and second career as a marine biologist. Too bad for him that he receives a phone call from an old friend in trouble.<\/p>\n

Not a hard boiled mystery and not quite your typical mystery, though it does have shades of the Jack Ryan series when it was still good. Doc has a history working for the branches of government where you don’t always admit to working for the government, and those skills serve him well as he attempts to unravel the murder of his best friend.<\/p>\n

This is, however, a guy mystery, so there is, of course, manly boinking of a kind unfathomable to me. But again, late 80s early 90s, the world was a different place.<\/p>\n

Although it wasn’t precisely what I was expecting, I enjoyed Sanibel Flats<\/em> and plan to read more in this series.
