SynopsisThe murder of an ex-drug dealer ex-con-gunned down on his mother's doorstep-seems just another turf war fatality. Why then has Seattle homicide investigator J.P. Beaumont been instructed to keep this assignment hush-hush Meanwhile, Beau's lover and fellow cop, Mel Soames, is involved in her own confidential investigation. Registered sex offenders from all over Washington State are dying at an alarming rate-and not all due to natural causes. A metropolis the size of Seattle holds its fair share of brutal crime, corruption, and dirty little secrets. But when the separate trails they're following begin to shockingly intertwine, Beau and Mel realize that they have stumbled onto something bigger and more frightening than they anticipated-a deadly conspiracy that's leading them to lofty places they should not enter . . . and may not be allowed to leave alive., Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont is handed a hush-hush special assignment: find out what really happened in the shooting death of an ex-con. The killing seems straightforward enough: an unlucky lowlife got caught in the crossfire when a drug deal went bad. But when Beau starts digging, the seemingly straightforward case becomes deeply complicated. It seems the ex-con really had turned over a new leaf and his murder was intentional. Someone had targeted the man for death. While Beau's busy with his confidential assignment, his lover and fellow cop, Mel, is looking into some cold cases, hoping to close them once and for all. But suddenly, her investigation becomes entangled with Beau's, and the two begin to uncover a nightmarish conspiracy that could involve people in high places--including their own top brass., The murder of an ex-drug dealer ex-con gunned down on his mother's doorstep seems just another turf war fatality.

Another great story by J A Jance. Her hero Beau or J P Beaumont is so real and down to earth with all the human feeling of good and bad that makes him so compelling. I like all her books but Beau is my favorite. A really great read.
