Part of Doc Ford, book 26
First published 2021
Marine biologist Doc Ford thought he knew all of Tomlinson's wild stories from the past. Then his eccentric friend drops a bombshell: he fathered multiple children through sperm bank donations years ago. Now these grown offspring have found Tomlinson through genealogy websites, claiming they want answers about their heritage. Doc suspects one of them has darker motives than a simple family reunion. Meanwhile, Doc's own past catches up with him. Months earlier, he took a cache of Spanish coins from a crooked treasure hunter. Now a disgraced IRS investigator and a corrupt Bahamian customs agent want their share of the loot. Doc must protect both himself and Tomlinson as past mistakes threaten to become present dangers. With enemies closing in from multiple directions, Doc discovers that old sins demand new prices.
