Search - Trial by Fury (J. P. Beaumont, #3)

As always, with the J.P. Beaumont Series.......a good read.

From back of book:

The body lying naked and dead in a Seattle Dumpster was a shock. But even more shocking was the manner in which he died. The victim, a high school coach, was lynched -- a grim echo from a dark past -- leaving behind a very pregnant wife with a very dangerous secret. And a sixth sense developed over twenty years on the job tells Homicide detective J.P. Beamont that this investigation is going to the lethal extremes -- of passion, lies and hatred. . . of the wrong kind of love and the worst kind of justice.

One of my favorite authors. JP Beaumont mystery.

Great story, love the characters. Good mystery, surprise ending.

A JP Beaumont mystery. The body laying naked and dead in a Seattle Dumpster was a shock. But even more shocking was the manner in which he died. The victim, a high school coach, was lynched!! He left behind a very pregnant wife and a very dangerous secret.............

The body lying naked and dead in a seattle dumpster was a shock. But even more shocking was the manner in which he died. The victim, a high school coach, was lynched--a grim echo from a dark past--- leaving behind a very pregnant wife with a very dangerous secret. And a sixth sense developed over twenty years tells Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont that this investigation is going to the lethal extremes---of passion, lies and hatred...of the wrong kind of love and the worst kind of justice.

The dead body discovered in a Seattle dumpster was shocking enough - but equally disturbing was the manner of death. The victim, a high school cosch, had been lynched, leaving behind a a very pregnant wife to grieve over his passing, and to wonder what dark secrets he took to his grave.

From Library Journal: "This 1986 volume is one of Jance's J.P. Beaumont detective mysteries. Here, Beaumont is called to investigate when the body of a naked man is found in a dumpster. All feel sorry for the victim's pregnant wife, but as the story unfolds, Beaumont begins to question just how sorry she is that her husband is gone."

Fast paced, intense, with many twists. J.P. Beaumont isn't necessarily a likeable character but an understandable one. Routine pursuit of a killer turns into beat the clock, break the rules, whatever it takes to prevent another murder.

Another great read from her J.P. Beaumont series.
