Fifteen years ago, in the labyrinth of mangrove, sawgrass, and swamp called the Ten Thousand Islands, off Florida's Gulf coast, a young girl unearthed a four-hundred-year-old gold medallion, a relic of the Calusa Indians. Then she began having nightmares. And then she was found hanging from the limb of a tree.An accident, ruled the coroner, but now marine biologist Doc Ford isn't so sure. Strange things have been happening recently, the girl's mother tells him. Her home was broken into; the phone rings and there's no one there; and, worst of all, her daughter's grave has been dug up. Someone suddenly wants that medallion -- but why, and why now? The search for the answers will lead Ford into a labyrinth of another kind, a maze of ancient ritual and modern greed, and, finally, to a place of infinite evil....Filled with crackling prose and atmosphere, and some of the best characters in suspense fiction, Ten Thousand Islands is a triumph of storytelling.

I'm a big fan of this author, Randy Wayne White. I have to say, this is his best work yet. I'm half way through his Doc Ford collection and this book will just blow your mind. So many twists and turns it's hard to put down. He seems to keep getting better and better as he develops this character. If your a fan of living in Florida, this is a must read set of books. It's starts with Sanibel Flats and ends with Tampa burn. About 8 books in all. Good good stuff people. Will not dissapoint. I promise.
