Synopsis

Will America become a police state? That was the question of the author in 1992. And with the TSA searching every airline passenger, it is even more valid today. The main character is John Turner, sheriff of Boise, Idaho’s Ada County, at a time when Western Civilization is tilted by total economic collapse and ruled by an oppressive, bankrupt, federal government. Just when Sheriff Turner (a baby boomer born at the end of WW-II) is about to retire his department is responsible to help investigate a gruesome crime which produces evidence pointing right back into its own department, with tentacles of evidence pointing towards the United States Senate and the White House. This book is unique because most of the flashback memories of Sheriff Turner are the real-life memories of the author Jim E. Reames who served as a patrolman on that same department when a young man. Today, Reames, holds a master’s degree in criminal justice administration who wrote his thesis on organized crime and international terrorism during the 9-11 period. He is employed as an information security expert for the United States federal government and co-owns a retail jewelry store located in Nampa, Idaho. “Valley” was written just as the Internet was about to be born, ten full years before 9-11, and most of its predictions are already history, with more to come. Now nearly twenty years old, this 1992 novel is still in focus with world reality.
