Product Description

A shocking photo screamed from the front pages of the tabloids—the last moments of a life captured for all the world to see. The look of sheer terror eternally frozen on the face of the doomed woman indicated that her fatal fall from an upper story of an unfinished Seattle skyscraper was no desperate suicide—and that look will forever haunt Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont. But his hunt for answers and justice is leading to more death, and to dark and terrible secrets scrupulously guarded by men of steel behind the locked doors of a powerful union that extracts its dues payments in blood.

3.0 out of 5 stars BEAU NOT UP TO FORM, February 10, 2001

By 

Kenri A. Mugleston - See all my reviews

This review is from: A More Perfect Union (Mass Market Paperback)

This J.P. Beaumont novel was not up to the same standards as the others I have read. There was no emotion. I also am seeing the same M.O. Beau tries to do some sleuthing on his own time, gets accused of murder and then goes to jail where the officers are hateful to him. Beau then makes a few phone calls and the officers apologize for their behavior and all is well.

In this novel Beau is investigating the Iron Workers Local after several workers die under mysterious circumstances. In order to work on the case he has to beg Kramer to let him on. How thoroughly sad.

The highlight of this book is that even when J.A. Jance isn't at her best, she is still better than most.

Product arrived on time and as described. Why does a review have to be a certain length? I want to protest Amazon forcing me to write more than I feel NECESSARY! I feel others should do the same.
