Product Description

A Seattle fisherman has died badly—bound, tortured and set ablaze aboard his boat on the Puget Sound. And with his death comes disturbing questions . . . and the key to a Pandora's Box of evil that has remained tightly closed for over half a century.

Else Didriksen is no longer the beautiful, troubled teenager who disappeared from detective J.P. Beaumont's life thirty years earlier. Now she is a homicide victim's widow-frightened, desperate and trapped in a web of murderous greed that reaches out from a time of unrelenting terror. And the dark, deadly secrets that hold Else prisoner threaten to ensnare Beau and new partner Sue Danielson as well-and to rock their world in ways they never dreamed possible.

3 out of 5 starsA Fast JP Beaumont Read, 2008-07-30
While I much prefer Beaumont to Jance's other character Joanna Brady, this Beaumont novel falls a bit flat. It's fast paced. The story becomes a bit predictable. The twists in the story are just not surprising enough. It's an oldie (1994). It's worth a quick read, just don't look for a major thriller in this one

4 out of 5 starsLove JP Beaumont mysteries! , 2007-09-12
Every time I get a JP Beaumont book to read I enjoy it. This book is no different. JA Jance does a great job at describing everything. I look forward to getting the other books that I haven't read yet. I hope she never stops writing about him. She makes him a real person.

4 out of 5 starsJ.P. IS ON THE CASE, 2000-08-16
J.A. Jance is back in form with this J.P. Beaumont gem. There is a new partner to work with, grisly murders to solve, nazi war criminals and helicopter chases. What more could you want?

3 out of 5 starsNot the best Jance book, 2000-07-19
J.A. Jance is a prolific and reliable author, but this book is not up to her usual standards. The murders in this book are brutal and both follow the same m.o. A person is burned to death and each finger and toe are severed. J.P. Beaumont and his new partner, Sue Danielson, do enough investigating to make a connection with a Nazi past and some missing gold from a German death camp. Perhaps in an effort to infuse something more exotic into this series, Ms. Jance sacrifices some of the basics of good writing. There are indeed, many unanswered questions at the end. I began to wonder if I had drifted off somewhere in the reading process! We do catch the usual glimpses of the attractive environs of Seattle and J.P. Beaumont is more human and more attractive as a recovering alcoholic rather than a man who reaches for a McNaughton's every time the going gets tough.
