Justice Denied: A J. P. Beaumont Novel (J. P. Beaumont Mysteries)
The investigation of LaShawn Tompkins's murder seems straightforward enough. Upon his release from death row, the ex-drug dealer returned to his old neighborhood, where he was gunned down on his mother's doorstep. Just another case of turf warfare.
At least that's what it looks like on the surface to Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont, who's been handed the assignment under the strictest confidence. But as Beau starts digging, the situation becomes more complicated than he'd thought. It appears that LaShawn really had turned over a new leaf at the King Street Mission and his murder was premeditated. Someone had targeted the man for death.
Meanwhile, Beau's lover and fellow cop, Mel Soames, is given her own hush-hush investigation. A routine check on registered sex offenders has revealed a disturbing pattern: they're dying off at an alarming rate, and not all due to natural causes. Details of the latest death suggest an inside job, and Mel isn't letting this go.
Suddenly, Mel's investigation becomes entangled with Beau's, and the two begin to uncover a nightmarish conspiracy that could involve people in high places—including their own top brass.

First and Last
This is the first J. A. Jance novel I have read, and it will certainly be the last. I found it sophomoric, banal, and positively boring. The characters were shallow, with a very poor attempt to bestow them with wit and humor. Please, enough...

Most real life character in the fictional Dectective World.
I love this character, J.P. Beaumont, "my friends call me Beau". I am glad I started with the very first novel with Beau (Until Proven Guilty). I have followed him through his career as a Seattle Homicide Detective, through a divorce and...

Not a River in Egypt
Justice Denied is a well-written series mystery. The title gives nothing away; it is a vague reference to the principal characters' investigations of murders involving previously incarcerated sex offenders. The hero, J. P. Beaumont, is an...

A fun summer read
J. P. Beaumont earned his stripes as a Seattle cop. He didn't always follow the rules and often succeeded in pushing the buttons of his command officers long before he retired. Washington State's Attorney General has found his unorthodox approach...
