Publisher Description

In this “heart-stopping” (Publishers Weekly) page-turner from New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance, Ali Reynolds finds herself working against the police to clear two innocent names.

Former reporter Ali Reynolds finds herself working against the police to add up the clues that connect one frightened teenager, two dead bodies, and $300,000...with the body count rising.

Hired to investigate the grisly murder of a gold-digging divor­cée on behalf of the woman accused of the crime, Ali Reynolds is immediately drawn to the case of the secretive teenager who found the body. A. J. Sanders was in the Camp Verde desert to retrieve a mystery box buried by his absent father—a box that turns out to be filled with hundreds of thousands of dol­lars’ worth of poker chips. When a second body is found in the desert, it seems the three cases are more closely related than anyone could have imagined. Though Ali’s friends in the police department grow increasingly irritated by her involvement, Ali must stop a ruthless killer from claiming another victim...before she is lost in this game of deadly stakes.

"A gold-digging divorcee is killed: natural suspect, her ex-husband and his new girlfriend. But the divorcee is only the first body to be found in the area: an ex-con gambler is found nearby. Did the same person kill them both? Ali Reynolds is asked to clear the ex-husband's name, which draws her into the strange lives of two families - his and the ex-con's. In her perfect use of coincidence, Jance has the gambler's son find the divorcee's body, tying both families together. With more twists and turns than an Arizona back road, this book will keep you interested until the very end. "

    " Although I loved JA Jance, the Ali Reynold's series is not my favorite. Ali can come off smug and a bit of a know it all. I've continue to read the series, but I wish Ali would mess up a bit or be absolutely wrong sometimes. "

    " Enjoyed this book, the only complaint I have is there are so many characters that I really like, it's hard to fit them all in. This had Leland (my fave) and B (also like), but not enough of Ali's son, daughter-in-law, and parents. "
