Synopsis

When a Crow Indian acquaintance of Tomlinson’s asks him to help recover relics 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.

Goodreads review by Author Annabelle on April 25, 2019

I just have to keep in mind that in EVERY freaking book there is a graphic event with an animal! This time it was an injured elephant/ :(......more

Goodreads review by Cheryl on June 25, 2019

I always read White's books...not because he's a great author, but because I enjoy the location of his stories. SW Florida is one of my favorite places and I'm familiar with so many of the spots where the action in RW White's books takes place. (Yes, I'll admit it... I've gone to Doc Ford's Rum Bars......more

Goodreads review by Cathy on March 29, 2014

Someone's mother (and no, it wasn't my Mother) said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Nothing at all. Changed to 2 1/2 stars, the 1/2 star because I've read all of RWW's books and Randy Striker's (RWW pen name) six books.......more

Goodreads review by Gail on March 08, 2014

I've enjoyed all the White books featuring Doc Ford until this one. A lot of action, kind of, leading to not much. To little Tomlinson here (Doc Ford's hippy dippy sidekick) and way to much Hannah Smith (the main character in White's new series). Seemed like White wandered around in search of either......more

Quotes

Praise for Bone Deep
 
“Doc Ford is back for his twenty-first appearance, and it’s right to say that he’s as good as he ever was . . . With hidden treasures galore, secret agent Doc Ford retains his cover of marine biologist very well, while tracking down some truly crooked relic hunters!”—Suspense Magazine

“White keeps the action churning forward as Doc encounters both human and animal foes, but the real interest here is the archaeological backdrop. Masterfully seeding the plot with information on Florida’s ancient natural history—and its contemporary environmental challenges—White delivers a novel that perfectly blends story and landscape. We often say that fine nonfiction has the narrative drive of a good thriller, but we rarely have occasion to say that a fine thriller has all the mind-boggling fascination of compelling nonfiction.”––Booklist (starred review)
 
“A descent into the world of overzealous and unethical fossil collectors leads to a boat-napping, stolen artifacts, and increasingly dire threats . . . White does a fine job detailing Florida’s unique history and geography.”––Publishers Weekly

Praise for Night Moves
 
“White weaves in and out of two mysteries, telling the story with the same tight, vivid prose his fans have come to expect. Another strong addition to one of crime fiction’s most consistent series.” —Associated Press
 
“Randy Wayne White takes one of Florida’s most iconic mysteries and turns it into a tailor-made story for his own icon, Doc Ford. Night Moves illustrates why, after twenty novels, Ford’s double life and White’s attention to the Florida scenery continue to intrigue readers.” —South Florida Sun-Sentinel
