The newest thrilling Beaumont suspense novel from New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance, in which Beaumont is approached by a visitor from the past and finds himself drawn into a missing person’s case where danger is lurking and family secrets are exposed.
Years ago, when he was a homicide detective with the Seattle PD, J. P. Beaumont’s partner, Sue Danielson, was murdered. Volatile and angry, Danielson’s ex-husband came after her in her home and, with nowhere else to turn, Jared, Sue’s teenage son, frantically called Beau for help. As Beau rushed to the scene, he urged Jared to grab his younger brother and flee the house. In the end, Beaumont’s plea and Jared’s quick action saved the two boys from their father’s murderous rage.
Now, almost twenty years later, Jared reappears in Beau’s life seeking his help once again—his younger brother Chris is missing. Still haunted by the events of that tragic night, Beau doesn’t hesitate to take on the case. Following a lead all the way to the wilds of wintertime Alaska, he encounters a tangled web of family secrets in which a killer with nothing to lose is waiting to take another life.

"Almost 20 years after his partner, Sue Danielson, was killed by her abusive husband her oldest son, Jared, seeks out J. P. Beaumont's help. His younger brother, Chris, has gone missing. The last place he was seen was Alaska, so off goes Beau to Alaska to search for him.
Jance is one of my favorite authors. She has a firm grasp of continuity in her plot lines, her dialog is tight and realistic and she is a master at describing surroundings so you almost feel like you're there! And she knows how to tell a gripping story without foul language and overly gruesome scenes This book is no exception.
I really liked the characters and wanted everything to turn out good for them. The narration was excellent. Beau is 70 years old, but still sharp as a tack! I hope Ms Jance doesn't let him get too much older.
