Brandon Walker put away a man for killing Amos Warren years ago. Walker is asked to revisit the case when Lassiter, the alleged killer, is refusing a plea deal that would release him from jail. Lassiter insists that he is innocent and even his severely advanced MS isn't enough to admit his guilt.

Lassiter's daughter has brought the case to an organization called The Last Chance. Like Justice For All, it's groups of retired investigators, medical examiners, etc., who set out to solve cold cases.

Walker is reluctant until he sees some of the evidence that Lassiter's daughter has amassed. None of it was available to him through some probable misconduct on the part of the former Sheriff and the former prosecutor.

Brandon sets out to find the truth. He contacts an attorney in Seattle who sets up a phone call with J. P. Beaumont. J. P. is at loose ends. His former unit has been shut down. His wife is out of town and despite his attorney's persistence, he is reluctant to get involved. After talking with Brandon, he agrees to do some investigating.

Ms. Jance writes a compelling story which involves a large number of characters and a conspiracy that has been quietly operating a smuggling ring for a long time. As the story builds, an evil mastermind will be exposed. Skillfully tying in disparate plot lines, DANCE OF THE BONES will keep the reader enthralled.
