Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Once she clears the clouds obscuring issues of motive in the opening chapters, Jance ( Hour of the Hunter) proceeds with a gripping expose of cop murder and cover-up. Seattle police officer Ben Weston and his family--with the exception of the youngest son-- are brutally slaughtered at a critical point in Weston's undercover probe of youth gang activity. Several suspicious student loans are traced to Weston and members of the gangs he was investigating. In his 10th appearance, narrator and fellow cop J. P. "Beau" Beaumont vows to avenge his friend's death, meanwhile protecting the five-year-old survivor (and sole witness) and slowly realizing that the murder has little to do with student loans; he discovers dirty politics and graft reaching far into the department. Jance demands a lot from her readers: the likeliest suspects are completely hidden for a third of the tale, the loan angle makes little sense and the unconvincingly macho Beau never quite gels. Yet the shocks delivered as the villains are gradually unveiled and as Beaumont and pals try to keep the little boy alive resonate deeply. Author tour.

From Library Journal

The brutal murder of a black cop and his family tests the procedural skills of Seattle police detective J.P. Beaumont, the paperback hero recently promoted to hardcover ( Hour of the Hunter , Morrow, 1991). Jance, who energizes this adventure with slick, made-for-TV plotting, fast-paced action, and canned dialog, focuses on a surviving child witness, possible police corruption, rival street gangs, and Beaumont's previous friendship with the victim. Lean forward, grab on, and ride for adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ghastly murders! Less than exciting sleuthing ..., May 30 2001
By A Customer
This was my third J. A. Jance book and I will definitely be reading more.

Although I did get a feeling for Detective Beaumont in this book, I would have liked to be a little closer to the rest of the characters. Junior, for example, seems rather unbelieveably blah and emotionally capable of dealing with his situation. This seemed peculiar to me. I did not get a sharp understanding of several of the police officers' personalities.

I found myself reading along and hoping that in the next few pages, the pace would pick up and I would begin to feel the excitement that needs to accompany a thriller. Unfortunately, this never happened.

I do think the story shows the importance of the work done by organizations such as King County's Teddy Bear Patrol and supporting merchants and radio stations such as KLSY. For this reason alone I would recommend reading this book. Perhaps others will find it more to their liking if they have a different expectation than I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who are the bad guys?, Jul 16 2000
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A policeman and his family are brutally murdered. When J.P. Beaumont begins his investigation, he finds out some unsettling things about the slain policeman's association with known gang members. He also discovers that the man had been investigating some crooked cops. Which group murdered Ben Weston and his family and what was their motive? We see a softer side of Beaumont as he deals with a small boy who is the only survivor of the massacre. Jance is a reliable author and you can count on a good read in this series.
