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.
J. P. Beaumont and Brandon Walker, two of New York
Times bestselling author J. A. Jance’s most acclaimed
series characters, join forces for the first time in one of
the most suspenseful works of her career.
Years ago,
Amos Warren, a prospector, was gunned down out in the desert
and Sheriff Brandon Walker made the arrest in the case. Now,
the retired Walker is called in when the alleged killer,
John Lassiter, refuses to accept a plea deal that would
release him from prison with time served. Lassiter wants
Brandon and The Last Chance to find Amos's "real" killer and
clear his name.
Sixteen hundred miles to the north in
Seattle, J.P. Beaumont is at loose ends after the Special
Homicide Investigation Team, affectionately known as
S.H.I.T., has been unexpectedly and completely disbanded.
When Brandon discovers that there are links between
Lassiter’s case and an unsolved case in Seattle, he comes to
Beau for help.
Those two cases suddenly become hot
when two young boys from the reservation, one of them with
close ties to the Walker family, go missing. Can two
seasoned cops, working together, decipher the missing pieces
in time to keep them alive?
