Publisher Comments:

The Seattle that Beau knew as a young policeman is disappearing. The city is awash in the aromas emanating from a glut of coffee bars, the neighborhood outside his condo building has sprouted gallery upon gallery, and even his long cherished diner has evolved into a trendy eatery for local hipsters. But the glam is strictly surface, for the grit under the city's fingernails is caked with blood. Beau and his new partner Sue Danielson, a struggling single parent, are assigned the murder of an elderly woman torched to death in her bed. As their investigation proceeds, Beau and Sue become embroiled in a perilous series of events that will leave them and their case shattered — and for Beau nothing will ever be the same again.

Synopsis:

After three years, J.P. Beaumont is back solving mysteries in Seattle. This time, as Beau and his new female partner investigate the murder of an elderly woman, they become embroiled in a perilous series of events that will leave them and their case shattered.
