Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont uncovers a dark and
deadly conspiracy that reaches deep into the halls of state
government, in this latest thriller from New York
Times bestselling author J. A. Jance
At first
glance, the video appears to be showing a childish game: a
teenage girl with dark wavy hair smiles for the camera, a
blue scarf tied around her neck. All of a sudden things turn
murderous, and the girl ends up dead.
It’s as bad
as a snuff film can get, and what’s worse, the clip has been
discovered on a phone that belongs to the grandson of
Washington State’s governor. However, the boy, who has a
troubled background, swears that he’s never seen the victim
before.
Fortunately, the governor is able to turn
to an old friend, J. P. Beaumont, for help. The Seattle
private investigator has witnessed many horrific acts over
the years, but this one ranks near the top. Even more
shocking is that the crime’s multiple perpetrators could be
minors.
Along with Mel Soames, his partner in life
as well as on the job, Beaumont soon determines that what
initially appears to be a childish prank gone wrong has much
deeper implications. But Mel and Beau must follow this path
of corruption to its very end, before more innocent young
lives are lost.
I have just finished Betrayal of Trust it is one of the best books I have ever read...this was my first Jance book to read but now I can't wait to read all the J P Beaumont series...a real page turner with an excellent story! (Jimmie Creswell 5:45pm July 31, 2011)
