As if Joanna Brady doesn’t have enough to keep her occupied, she’s expecting a baby girl in December and, having just solved the murder of her mother and stepfather, she is in the midst of planning their funerals, when two murder cases crop up to add to her burden. And she is just beginning to focus on her re-election campaign for Sheriff.
Mixing Indian legend with old-fashioned sleuthing, J.A. Jance connects a long-time favorite character, retired detective J.P. Beaumont, with a recently introduced protagonist, retired Sheriff Brandon Walker. The two, 1,500 miles apart, work to identify the culprit. Beaumont has now appeared in 24 novels, and Walker makes his fourth appearance.
We cannot get enough of those thriller heroes, so Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, Jeffrey Deaver and 20 other writers of the genre got together to produce 11 stories for the anthology, Faceoff. Each story contains two characters from different authors solving crimes. Double the reading pleasure!
