About this title

Review:

‘Jance delivers a devilish page-turner’ People Magazine

From the Back Cover:

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.
