Praise for Captiva
“The thriller Captiva is a lot like fishing..you are...caught!...One of the more dramatic finales in mystery fiction. White tellsone whale of a story.”—Miami Herald
“An enticing brew of hard-drinking, thick-skulled anglers, plodding detectives, and plotting marina bosses. White knows a thing or two about friendship, love, and honor. He also knows it’s possible for neighbors who share the same small island to appreciate and understand each other so little.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Edginess is what sets White’s work apart from the pack....A prickly,enigmatic hero...Ambience, compelling characters and straight forward suspense.”—San Francisco Chronicle
