From New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance, a stunning and suspenseful mystery featuring Arizona sheriff Joanna Brady and Seattle homicide detective J. P. Beaumont.
So far as Sheriff Joanna Brady was aware, the woman lying in the Cochise County morgue was an artist whose promising career had been violently extinguished. But when the 'next of kin' turns out to be the Attorney General's Office, Brady discovers that the witness protection programme had placed the victim in her jurisdiction under a false identity.
Lacking faith in the abilities of a small-town sheriff, the Attorney General sends in his own special investigator, J.P. Beaumont. The partnership is an uneasy one, but when their hunt for the killer disturbs a very deadly nest of rattlers, Brady and Beaumont learn that they have no one to trust but each other.

‘Jance delivers a devilish page-turner’ People Magazine
Sheriff Joanna Brady knows a murder when she sees one, and the death of Rochelle Baxter, an up-and-coming artist in Cochise County, Arizona, is certainly suspicious. The mystery deepens when it emerges that Ms Baxter is in fact a former Marine Military Police Officer named Latisha Wall, who has come to Cochise under the witness protection programme.
Outraged that his star witness in a private prison corruption scandal has been eliminated, and convinced that tracking down the killer will be beyond the abilities of a small-town female sheriff, the Washington State attorney general sends in his own investigator, former Seattle homicide detective J. P. Beaumont.
Joanna isn’t happy to see Beau on her turf, and he isn’t overjoyed at the prospect either. But when the case begins to take unexpected and frightening turns, the two must put aside their differences to solve one of the most baffling cases of their careers.
