A spellbinding story of lies, betrayal, and multiple murder featuring Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont.

What kind of monster would break into a man’s home at night, then slaughter him and his family? The fact that the dead man was a model cop who was loved and respected by all only intensifies the horror. But the killer missed someone: a five-year-old boy who was hiding in the closet. Now word is being leaked out that the victim was “dirty.” But Seattle P.D. Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont isn’t about to let anyone drag a murdered friend’s reputation through the muck. And he’ll put his own life on the firing line on the gang-ruled streets to save a terrified child who knows too much to live.

Editorial Reviews

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.

A voracious reader, J. A. Jance knew she wanted to be a writer from the moment she read her first Wizard of Oz book in second grade. Always drawn to mysteries, from Nancy Drew right through John D. McDonald's Travis Magee series, it was only natural that when she tried her hand at writing her first book, it would be a mystery as well.

Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona.

Everything J.A. Jance writes is excellent. Her J.P. Beaumont books are excellent. Good story plot line, exciting finish; just good story telling. I've read all the Beaumont books up until the most recent and will be catching up soon.

Is the brutal slaying of a Seattle cop and his family the work of a random killing or a cover up for internal conflicts within the police department itself? J.P. Beaumont takes the case despite a personal stake and one lone witness. His witness is a five year-old boy who'd survived the carnage of his family and pet by hiding in a closet.
The victim was respected and like in the community, but soon after the discovery of the slayings rumors start to float. "Gentle Ben" Weston is a dirty cop.
Who will benefit from the blackening of a man's name? Ron Peters moves himself from Media Relations and finds himself as a detective.
Excellent tightly packed story with all the twists for Beau fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars JP Beaumont: JA Jance's Best Series Character
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018
Verified Purchase
A brutal slaying of a Seattle cop and his family may be a random killing due to hatred of cops. It may be gang related or might the dead cop be dirty? A couple scenarios involving each is brought forward. Beaumont takes the case despite a personal involvement his partner has with the dead man and his family. There is one small witness, a five year old boy, who hid in a closet.

As various scenarios evolve, along with plot twists, the story comes together smoothly later in the book as we find who will benefit the most from the tarnishing of a man's name?

The primary characters are the usual and have already been well developed sometime ago. The secondary cast is also well done. The writing is typical JA Jance. It keeps moving along nicely without any nonsensical fillers.

My mother introduced me to this Beaumont series. She gave me the first 6 or so to take home and read. I read all six within a week and downloaded the rest of the series onto my Kindle and within two weeks had read them all! My mother lived and worked in Seattle and recognized streets and areas, I was born there but have only visited because of family. The other reviews here have given great summaries of this character and this book, so I will not give another here. I will say that I love discovering a series of books (with lots of lots of books) and not have to wait for the next one (at least for awhile). I enjoyed them very much. I like JP Beaumont very much and have enjoyed this authors writing style as well.
