* The Secret of Monument Valley(Volume 2 in the Florea/Holland Mystery Series)... According to the so-called experts, in about 1450 AD, an exceedingly prosperous generation of Native Americans, known then as the Anasazi, vanished from their strongholds in the American Southwest--disappeared without so much as a trace. However, the Native Americans of the present day Navajo Nation dispute the theoretical findings of modern day archeologists and anthropologists. In fact, the Navajos claim that a sovereign remnant of the Anasazi currently dwells among them! It's time to tag along once again with treasure hunter, Rod Florea, and trail expert, Mitch Holland (Prequel: The Sun, The Glass, and the Leaning Rock), as they make a predestined journey into the desert southwest, most eager to solve this enduring mystery once and for all. Based on actual accounts from Native American residents of the Navajo Nation, award-winning author Mark Stephen Taylor thrusts his characters into the heart of this most interesting controversy. What they must endure is indeed most shocking. What they will find is most profoundly enlightening! Florea and Holland, accompanied by White Eagle, who claims to be the last surviving elder of the Anasazi, challenge the prevailing philosophies, following a five hundred year old trail from Chaco Canyon across the rugged, desert southwest into Monument Valley. It is along this trail and among the towering sentinels of the Navajo Tribal Park that the secret of Monument Valley and the trail of the Anasazi are revealed to the world. Are you ready to hike along? Watch out for the opposing forces, which stem from the very halls of government, and will resort even to kidnapping and murder to thwart the purpose of this monumental journey!
