A five-hundred-year-old mystery and a twenty-year-old murder haunt Hannah Smith in a stunning adventure by the author of the New York Times-bestselling Doc Ford novels.

A five-hundred-year-old mystery and a twenty-year-old murder haunt Hannah Smith in a stunning adventure by the author of the New York Times-bestselling Doc Ford novels.

A fishing guide and part-time investigator, Hannah Smith is a tall, strong Florida woman descended from many generations of tall, strong Florida women. But the problem before her now is much older even than that. And its consequences are lethal.

Five hundred years ago, Spanish conquistadors planted the first orange seeds in Florida, but now the billion-dollar industry is in trouble. The trees are dying, weakened by infestation and genetic manipulation, and the only solution might be somehow, somewhere to find sample of the original root stock.

No one is better equipped to traverse the swamps and murky backcountry of Florida than Hannah, but once word leaks out of her quest, the trouble begins. "There are people who will kill to find a direct descendant of those first seeds," she is warned--and it looks like those words may be all too prophetic.

That is, if the secrets she discovers in the Florida wild about a twenty-year-old murder don't kill her first.

Or the fifteen-foot-long Burmese python.

Praise for Seduced

Praise for Seduced:
"Pythons, orange trees of ancient stock, infidelity, madness, and greed. Is that all there is? Well, no. There is Mr. White's gloriously complicated, totally unglamorous, and fiercely independent Hannah Smith." -- Florida Weekly

"Hannah Smith's best outing to date, with a particularly effective climactic sequence that knots together every menace, and every sorrow, she faces." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Fans of mysteries that show an appreciation of the great outdoors will love this gun-toting, plane-flying, boat-living heroine."-- Booklist

Heart-stopping...but Hannah knows how to take care of herself. White's fascination with Florida's ecology and history--a bedrock of the Doc Ford novels--also imbues Seduced, which quickly evolves into a solid story about Hannah's personal growth. Seduced vividly showcases Florida's often rough beauty as White takes his characters along the Gulf Coast waterways and inside nests of mangroves." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"White's best Hannah Smith novel to date. It's Smith's gutsy, no-nonsense attitude and fierce loyalty that give these stories their heart." -- Naples Daily News
