Publisher Description

Who is J. P. Beaumont? A very human Seattle police detective who is hardened but hopeful, dispirited but diligent - the kind of cop who has experienced personal tragedy but still remains faithful to his duty.

When J.P. Beaumont and his new partner, Sue Danielson, are assigned the murder of an elderly woman torched to death in her bed, Beaumont finds himself distracted by Sue's difficulties at home. Distraction soon turns to terror as Beaumont and Sue find themselves caught up in a series of events that will leave them and their carefully constructed investigation shattered. For Beaumont, nothing will ever be the same.

"It's been forever since we've had a new Beaumont. J.P. Beaumont, Seattle Homicide Detective, is oh so thankfully back. A assumedly impoverished woman no one seems to morn is burned to death in an arson fire and then $300,000 is found in an old refrigerator in her garage. A group of kids stage a role playing party and discover real bones. These stories are woven into the plot that surrounds Seattle like the rest of this series. It was like visiting with a good friend you haven't seen in a long time."

    " Typical fast moving enjoyable book in the J.P. Beaumont series. Be sure to read them in order! I was going to skip this one [because it's my personal paperback] and read the library hardback book instead of the next one in the series. Wow! I read about 2 chapters and realized so much of J.P.'s world had changed. "

    " So far this is my favorite of the J. P. Beaumont books. It was a bit busy however and probably would have been a better book without the Ferman murder. The Seward Park murder and Danielson's domestic problems were way more interesting and would have been enough. The Ferman subplot was rather poorly developed, and the solution tossed in at the end like an afterthought and did not add much to the story. "

    " Another good ol' J.P. Beaumont mystery. Indian folklore and mysticism don't do much to enhance a novel for me, but the emphasis on it didn't seem to hurt the movement of this particular plotline. "

    " I love the JP Beaumont series from JA Jance, and this was a good one, a page-turner. She is not afraid to address issues. Beaumont's character is complicated and developed. Each book builds the character, though each book can stand alone, too. An exciting, well-written series. "
