J. P. Beaumont's latest investigation strikes too close to home in this
riveting mystery from New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance.
Be careful what you wish for . . .
Before he retired, J. P. Beaumont had looked forward to having his days
all to himself. But too much free time doesn't suit a man used to
brushing close to danger. When his longtime nemesis, retired Seattle
crime reporter Maxwell Cole, dies in what's officially deemed to be an
accidental fire, Beau is astonished to be dragged into the investigation
at the request of none other than the deceased victim himself. In the
process Beau learns that just because a long-ago case was solved doesn't
mean it's over.
Caught up in a situation where old actions and grudges can hold
dangerous consequences in the present, Beau is forced to operate outside
the familiar world of law enforcement. While seeking justice for his
frenemy and healing for a long fractured family, he comes face to face
with an implacable enemy who has spent decades hiding in plain sight.
