From New York Times bestselling author Randy Wayne White, after the deadliest hurricane to hit Florida’s Gulf Coast in a century, Doc Ford must stop a gang of thieves – and worse – during the twelve hours of chaos that follow the passing of a storm’s eye.
Praise for the Doc Ford Novels
“[Randy] A text cannot do justice to what I have to say. Your best book ever? How about one of the best thrillers ever? You owe me a week’s worth of sleep; when I put it down at night I was wired from reading it.” JOE SOUCHERAY | GARAGE LOGIC PODCAST HOST
“The pace of this thriller moves as fast as the hurricane that hits Florida, forcing the great Doc Ford to protect his family even while dealing with a group of mobsters as bad as the storm. It’s Randy Wayne White’s best.” MIKE LUPICA | AUTHOR OF “ROBERT B. PARKER’S BROKEN TRUST” AND “12 MONTHS TO LIVE," WITH JAMES PATTERSON
“Explosive! Stunning depictions of hurricane prep and the aftermath in a nonstop thriller. Both longtime fans and new readers should revel in this.” CONNIE FLETCHER | BOOKLIST
“Who could better weave the convergence of a 500-year tropical hurricane and the high voltage evil of a deviant crime syndicate than Randy Wayne White. ‘One Deadly Eye’ hits more powerfully and reads faster than Ian. If you weren’t on or near the SW Florida barrier islands around the end of September 2022, now’s your chance…" PORTER GOSS | FORMER DIRECTOR, C.I.A.
“Anyone who insists mysteries can’t also be ‘real literature’ should be duct-taped to a chair and handed a novel by Randy Wayne White.” WASHINGTON TIMES
“Packed with finely drawn characters, relevant social issues, superb plotting and an effortless writing style. White has produced a virtually perfect piece of work.” DENVER POST
“White is willing to take risks, which is why he is one of the few best-selling authors today worthy of the title ‘writer.’” FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

Welcome to your private portal into the world of marine biologist Doc Ford, his transcendent pal Tomlinson and other friends, as well as oddities, bits of writing and tropical equipage that I hope you’ll find interesting. A private portal? Yep, as far as I’m concerned. We do not harvest email addresses, nor employ the sort of techno IP-hi-jinx so common in these noisy, intrusive times. Think of this webpage as a clubroom, isolated from prying Facebook eyes.
For those who haven’t read my books (don’t worry – you’re one of millions) you’ll find an introduction following the link below. Feel free to roam the other pages, as well.
Randy Wayne White is the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Doc Ford series. In 2011, White was named a Florida Literary Legend by the Florida Heritage Society. A fishing and nature enthusiast, he has also written extensively for National Geographic Adventure, Men’s Journal, Playboy and Men’s Health. He lives on Sanibel Island, Florida, where he was a light-tackle fishing guide for many years, and spends much of his free time windsurfing, playing baseball and hanging out at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille. Sharks Incorporated is his middle grade series, including Fins and Stingers.

Just as Randy’s novels are inspired by these islands, his days on the water, and the people he came to know, the Doc Ford themed sports bars and Cuba expeditions were inspired by the marine biologist who is the main character of those novels.
Doc Ford is the baseball-loving, tropical adventurer who - not so surprisingly - has spent a lot of time in the same far flung countries that Randy wrote about when he was a monthly columnist — places such as Cuba, Cambodia, South Africa, Australia, Vietnam, Borneo, and all over South and Central America. It was while traveling for Outside and other magazines he came to know and love the superb cuisine and landscapes of the rural tropics.
