When a Crow Indian acquaintance of Tomlinson’s asks him to
help recover a relic stolen from his tribe, Doc Ford is
happy to tag along—but neither Doc nor Tomlinson realize
what they’ve let themselves in for. Their search takes them
to the part of Central Florida known as Bone Valley, famous
primarily for two things: a ruthless subculture of black-
marketers who trade in illegal artifacts and fossils, and a
multibillion-dollar phosphate industry whose strip mines
compromise the very ground they walk on.
Neither enterprise tolerates nosy outsiders. For each,
public exposure equals big financial losses—and in a region
built on a million-year accumulation of bones, there is no
shortage of spots in which to hide a corpse. Or two.
