The Mangrove Coast<\/a><\/em> (1998) Randy Wayne White<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Synopsis<\/strong>:
\nThe prologue makes it clear that things went badly for Doc when he went to Panama, then the first chapter opens with Doc discovering a dead body. Slowly… slowly!… we come to learn that Doc was doing a favor for a friend, and got himself involved in a situation that was far beyond what he expected. <\/p>\n

Doc also learns the danger and use of computers, though his introduction is an ugly one.<\/p>\n

I liked the disjointed story-telling, where we start at the end, jump to the middle, and then work our way to that point and beyond. I also liked the glimpses of Doc’s past we learn as he explains his relationships with Bobby Richardson. What I was unsure about was the epilogue.
\nRating: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
