Book Description:
It looks like a classic crime of passion to Detective J.P Beaumont: two corpses found lovingly entwined in a broom closet of the Seattle School District building. The prime suspect, Pete Kelsey, admits his slain spouse was no novice at adultery, yet he swears he had nothing to do with the brutal deaths of the errant school official and her clergyman-turned-security guard companion. Beau believes him, but there's something the much sinned-upon widower's not telling -- and that spells serious trouble still to come.



Because the secret Pete's protecting is even hotter than extra-marital sex. . . and it could prove more lethal than murder.

Man and a woman are hideously killed and stuffed in a closet inside a school district building. Everyone has a secret. Just when you think you know who committed the crime, there is another twist in the case.

A JP Beaumont mystery. The bloody corpses stashed in the broom closet of the Seattle School District building were lovingly entwined. It looked like a classic crime of passion to Beau, especially when Pete Kelsey admitted that his slaughtered wife was an A student in the fine art of adultery. But Pete swore he had nothing to do with the brutal deaths of the lusty school official and her security guard. Beau's gut instincts told him to believe the widower. But.........

In death, they were entwined like lovers - a man and a woman hideously slaughtered, then stuffed into a closet in the Seattle School District building. But what appears a cut-and-dried crime of passion, complete with an ideal prime suspect, goes deeper than investigatin detective J. P. Beaumont could ever have imagained. For an accused betrayed husband is keeping something shocking carefully hidden a terrifying truth that's hotter and more sordid than extra-marital sex. And some secrets are more lethal than murder.
