GONE

Randy Wayne White

The first book in a new crime series which hit the NYT Bestseller list at no. 15 right from its date of publication.
Randy Wayne White has long been known for suspenseful plots, complex characters, and an extraordinary sense of place. His new series has them all—and then some.

Hannah Smith: a tall, strong, formidable Florida woman, the descendant of generations of strong Florida women. She makes her living as a fishing guide, but her friends, neighbors, and clients also know her as an uncommonly resourceful woman with a keen sense of justice—someone who can’t be bullied—and they have taken to coming to her with their problems. Her methods can be unorthodox, though, and those on the receiving end of them often wind up very unhappy—and sometimes very violent. And when a girl goes missing, and Hannah is asked to find her, that is exactly what happens. . .

Randy Wayne White is the author of seventeen previous Doc Ford novels and four collections of nonfiction. He lives in an old house built on an Indian mound in Pineland, Florida.

Comments

In his Doc Ford novels, Randy Wayne White plumbs the shallows of the Gulf waters and the depths of the human heart. But in his newest thriller, Gone, he gives us Hannah Smith, a gutsy new heroine to root for, and a plot that crackles with the electricity of a Florida thunderstorm. Gone won’t be long forgotten.

A heroine who’s just as stubborn and capable and even more appealing than White’s Doc Ford.

As always with a White novel, the writing is solid, the maritime setting is vividly drawn, and the plot ripples with danger and suspense. Hannah is an intriguing character who has the makings of a solid series character in her own right.

“Gone is a most welcomed breather from the adventures of Doc Ford, who, along with his best friend, Tomlinson, makes several cameo appearances.” Read more...

Hannah must confront multiple personal demons in the course of the tale, and she does so with grace and savvy. The author’s fans will welcome another seaworthy star to Doc Ford’s world.
