Betrayal Of Trust

Product Description

From New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance, a suspenseful mystery from the creator of Arizona sheriff Joanna Brady & Seattle homicide detective J. P. Beaumont. At first glance, what happens on the video appears to be a childish game: a teenage girl with dark, wavy hair smiles for the camera, a blue scarf tied around her neck. Then things turn dark & gruesome, & the girl ends up dead. When a snuff film is discovered on a cell phone belonging to the governor of Washington State's grandson-a boy with a troubled background who swears he doesn't know the victim-the governor turns to an old friend, J. P. Beaumont, for help. Of the many horrors the Seattle private investigator has witnessed over the years, this one ranks near the top-especially since the crime's multiple perpetrators might well be minors. But this case of an apparent juvenile prank gone hideously wrong has deeper, more startling implications, leading Beau & Mel Soames-his partner in life & work-down a twisted path of corruption & lies that must be exposed before more young lives are obliterated.
