        "Jance, as usual, relates a clean and tightly woven plot distinguished by authentic dialogue, honest emotions and characters readers will care about." — Publishers Weekly on Breach of Duty

        "J. A. does an outstanding job of delivering a very emotional book, wrapped up within a mystery that keeps the reader on edge to the very end." — Suspense Magazine on Sins of the Fathers

        "[A] mystery with heart . . . readers . . . will savor every word . . . Jance should win new fans with this one." — Publishers Weekly on Sins of the Fathers

        "J. A. Jance is one of the best at combining mystery and family dynamics. J. P. Beaumont . . . is a character occasionally afflicted with angst, depression, and guilt, but not so much that he becomes tiresome. Rather, he becomes human, with all the temptations, missteps, failures, and ultimately successes, large and small, that most share." — New York Journal of Books on Sins of the Fathers

        "The two parallel cases provide plenty of action, while keeping a premium on character studies and violence to a minimum. Once again, the compassionate, intelligent Joanna balances a busy home life and a complex job with aplomb. This long-running series consistently entertains." — Publishers Weekly on Missing and Endangered

        "Jance has brought us yet another winner!" — Dallas Morning News

        "One of the country's most popular mystery writers." — The Oregonian (Portland)

        "A dillusioned, cynical hero in the classic hard-boiled tradition." — Journal-American

        Praise for J.A. Jance: "Jance delivers a devilish page-turner." — People

        "J.A. Jance does not disappoint her fans." — Washington Times

        "Suspenseful, action-packed." — Dallas Morning News

        "Taut . . . entertaining." — Entertainment Weekly

        "Credible and entertaining." — Orlando Sentinel

        February 1, 1999
        In his 14th outing (and first in three years), Seattle homicide detective J.P. Beaumont (Name Withheld, etc.) finds, along with his new partner, Sue Danielson, that seemingly ho-hum investigations grow in grim complexity even as personal distractions multiply. The pair has been assigned to investigate the arson death of Agnes Ferman, a woman disliked by just about everyone; the more than $300,000 found tucked away in her garage points to plenty of suspects. In Seattle's Seward Park, meanwhile, a group of costumed, role-playing teens have been using human bones in their games. Beau is warned that the bones may be those of Quinault shaman David Half Moon, and that anyone handling them is in grave danger. Beau scoffs, but when some of those associated with the investigation meet violent ends, he and Sue develop open minds. Adding texture to the doings are Sue's troubles centering around the sudden reappearance of her violent ex-husband, who, uncharacteristically, wants to take their sons on a dream trip to Disneyland. A coincidence--that most of the Seward Park suspects regularly congregate at one of Beau's haunts--stains the narrative, but otherwise Jance, as usual, relates a clean and tightly woven plot distinguished by authentic dialogue, honest emotions and characters readers will care about.
