An ex-con drug dealer, now supposedly rehabilitated, is gunned down at his mother’s home. Beau is assigned to this case. Meanwhile, sex offenders in different cities have been dying at an alarming rate and not from natural causes. These seemingly unrelated cases eventually get tied together. And although Beau has repeatedly said he didn’t want another partner, because it never turns out well for them, Mel has become his unofficial partner. And though they sometimes have differing opinions, they work well together. This audio had a different narrator, J. R. Horne, who does a good job, but, of course, doesn’t sound like Beau to me. The addition of background music was a bit startling at first but adds some drama to the story. ( ) JP Beaumont is is a former homicide detective now working for the Special Homicide Investigative Team for the state of Washington, as is his partner, Mel Sloanes. He is investigating a special crime for the Washington Attorney General. Mel is doing a routine check on registered sex offenders. However, she is finding that they are dying at an unusual rate after they serve their sentence. The death that JP (Beau) is investigating appears to tie in with Mel's. Mel is also on the Board of a women's victim's help organization. The AG wants to know what is going on. it's an interesting tale of twists, turns, nuns, vigilantes, family grief, and justice. I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read for a cop procedural mystery. The story unfolded quickly with interesting red herrings thrown in along the way. The dialogue was quick and often witty. Very enjoyable and not the least bit gory or overly gruesome. J. P. Beaumont has been given a top-secret special assignment by his boss to look into the murder of an ex-con released when DNA evidence proved him innocent. Mel, J.P.'s live-in girlfriend and partner, has been given an assignment to investigate released sex offenders who have died under suspicious circumstances. Life at home gets very tense when J. P. has to keep his investigation from Mel. Soon their cases collide and there are lots of strains put on their relationship as well. Can they untangle the web of these deaths and put things right at home as well? I haven't read a bad J.P. Beumont book yet. I really enjoy Beau's thought process and how he seems to put his foot in it without meaning to. Great book with lots of twists and turns. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: The investigation of LaShawn Tompkins's murder seemed straightforward enough. Upon his release from death row, the ex-drug-dealer returned to his old neighborhood where he was gunned down on his mother's doorstep. Just another case of turf warfare. At least that's what it looks like on the surface to Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont, who's been handed the assignment under the strictest confidence. But as Beau starts digging, the situation becomes more complicated than he'd thought. It appears that LaShawn really had turned over a new leaf at the King Street Mission and his murder was pre-meditated. Someone had targeted the man for death. Meanwhile, Beau's lover and fellow cop, Mel Soames, is given her own hush-hush investigation. A routine check on registered sex offenders has revealed a disturbing pattern: they're dying off at an alarming rate, and not all due to natural causes. Details of the latest death suggest an inside job, but Mel isn't letting this go. Suddenly, Mel's investigation becomes entangled with Beau's, and the two begin to uncover a nightmarish conspiracy that could involve people in high places - including their own top brass. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
