Book Review of Dismissed With Prejudice (J. P. Beaumont, Bk 7)

Dismissed With Prejudice (J. P. Beaumont, Bk 7)


Japanese businessman Tadeo Kurobashi had many passions, including computers, poetry, money, and Samurai lore. So his suicide method of choice would naturally be the ancient art of seppku---what the uninitiated call "hara-kiri." But despite the bloody Samurai sword Kurobashi clutches tightly in his lifeless hand, Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont senses the dead software magnate played a less active role in his own demise. Because glaring errors have been made in the time honored Asian death ritual---which has Beau looking for someone with a less traditional passion...for cold blooded homicide.
