Buried in the Valley of Dry Bones is a crime thriller and the second book in the Ramo Floyd series. Nineteen boys ages six to seventeen have disappeared all over the south. Intense career-changing investigations occurred within local law enforcement where technology and staffing were deficient. Investigations of nineteen boys and teens in seven states provided no clues. A case with no clues was not acceptable to special agent Floyd as he embarks his team in search of the missing. When he sends his agents into the field, reopening nineteen cold cases, he expected to find the evidence to apprehend the assailant. After all, Floyd concluded that the FBI is the best law enforcement officers in the world. When the agents reached the same conclusion as the original investigators, Floyd knew the assailant was no everyday individual but intelligent, patient, and deviant.
