This is item 4 in The J.P. Beaumont Series.

Product Description

From AudioFile

J.P. Beaumont is a tough Seattle cop with traditional values. In the course of investigating two murders, he is introduced to the worlds of show business, drugs and alternate life-styles. He is uncomfortable, but he perseveres and solves the murders. Well-read by Gene Engene, individual characters are well-differentiated but not overdone. The voice of J.P. Beaumont is especially appropriate--he sounds like a tough, opinionated cop with a soft heart. This is a quality production which makes the listener eager for more titles in the series. J.D.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Product Description

Top ten New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance brings another stunning novel of passion, violence, and dreams turned deadly, featuring Seattle Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont.

There are many bizarre and terrible ways to die. Seattle Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont thought he had seen them all—until he saw this body, its wounds, and the murder weapon: an elegant woman's shoe, its stiletto heel gruesomely caked with blood. The evidence is shocking and unsettling, even for a man who prowls the shadows for a living, for it suggests that savagery is not the exclusive domain of the predatory male. And the scent of a stylish killer is pulling Beaumont into a world of drugs, corruption, and murder to view close-up a cinematic dream at its most nightmarish...and lethal.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love JP Beaumont!, Aug 3 2003

By	MrsCDWhite (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Taking The Fifth (Mass Market Paperback)

I love JP Beaumont!
Sometimes we are taken on a fast paced ride to certain disaster.
And sometimes we are taken to extreme forms of human pain.
But if you want to live a life of a Detective/PI, then you have picked a good character to delve into.
Beau is my favorite Cop.
Get all the books about Beau and his cases.
You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars for "the Fifth", Sep 25 2000

By	Larry Eischen (Joliet, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Taking The Fifth (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Jance's way with a series. Not only is she faithful to her main character, but each book also brings us deeper into the lives of Beaumont's surrounding circle of friends and associates. JP is called in on another homicide. This one involves a young gay who told his mother he worked for the DEA but the Seattle DEA has no record of him. Along the way to the solution, Beaumont finds himself involved with a lovely chanteuse out of rehab on the comeback trail and a drug ring whose territory covers the West Coast. Jance lets you think you know what's going on, then she pulls the rug out from under you. Another great job from Jance.
