Deep Shadow by Randy Wayne White is the 17th novel in the Doc Ford series. One of the things that I love about these books is that you can read them all out of order (like I had to), and not be completely lost. The series revolves around, a marine biologist who isn’t exactly your average citizen named Marion "Doc" Ford, and his hippie friend Tomlinson. In this book Doc, and Tomlinson, along with their friends Cpt. Arlis Futch and Will Chaser, scuba dive a lake in remote Florida, where they believe a plane stocked full of stolen Cuban treasures crashed in the late 1950s. Will, Doc, and Tomlinson dive the lake, but leave Arlis topside to keep watch.
But, one of the three men makes a drastic mistake while diving, and accidently causes an underwater landside that leaves Tomlinson and Will trapped underneath the lake. Doc, after unsuccessfully trying to rescue the pair, surfaces to get help, only to find another disaster awaiting him on land. Arlis, who is a very old man, has been forced out of his truck and beaten by two ex-cons and murders, that are currently holding a gun to him. Now, Doc has to figure out how to deal with the two fugitives, before Tomlinson and Will run out of oxygen, while trying to avoid ending up dead himself.
Doc Ford novels are one of my favorite book series, and if you like a lot of action, and can handle gore, I would recommend that you read this book.
