Book Description:
Later, my conscience would play the inevitable game of "What if . . ." What if I had stopped by Jobe's home on Friday morning instead of Sunday night? What if I hadn't interrupted the two people who were alternately interrogating and beating him? Would he have lived? Or would he have died? And what would have happened then?
It started when Doc Ford got a call from his old friend Frieda Matthews; her reclusive biologist brother, Jobe, wasn't answering the phone-could Doc check up on him? Ford can't think of a reason not to, but soon he will think of a hundred. Not only will it be one of the worst scenes he has ever encountered, the consequences will draw him into the heart of a nightmare. A catastrophe is coming to Florida, and just maybe there is something Ford can do about it-but he doesn't know how or where or when . . . or even if he is already too late.
Brimming with the remarkable prose and rich atmosphere that have won White so many fans already, and featuring some of the best characters in suspense fiction today, Dead of Night is White's biggest thriller yet.

It starts with a simple request: check up on the mysteriously reclusive biologist brother of an old friend. But what Doc Ford stumbles upon in the doctor's secluded island home is a nightmare. He has hanged himself and his body is host to a rare strain of feeding, breathing parasites. It's not an accident. Neither is the fact that the flesh eaters are multiplying in the infested Florida waters.
this is one of my most favorite series! love Doc Ford in any story!
Deborah A. from LAWRENCEBURG, TN wrote on 3/23/2006...This is a suspense book-a Doc Ford-mystery. Doc Ford is a Florida resident faced with murder and a biological, ecological threat to the entire country. Good characters, lots of Florida background, and thrills as the chase is on!
