Den of Iniquity

A J. P. Beaumont Novel

By: J. A. Jance

Narrated by: Mike Ortego

New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance returns with a new pulse-pounding suspense novel featuring beloved private investigator J. P. Beaumont as his investigation of a seemingly accidental death uncovers a complex web of evil.

Former Seattle homicide cop J. P. Beaumont faces trouble in the small town of Ashland, as both his personal and professional lives are thrown into turmoil. Beau’s daughter and son-in-law are having marital troubles, and his grandson, a senior in high school, shows up on his doorstep, wanting to live with Beau and his wife Mel as he finishes out the school year.

Meanwhile, a friend from his past asks for Beau’s help in looking into what appears to be an accidental death. A young man died of a fentanyl overdose, but those closest to him are convinced that he would never have used the drug, and that something much more sinister has happened. Beau agrees to unofficially reopen the case, and his investigation leads him to uncover similar mysterious deaths that all point to a most unlikely suspect.

As the case becomes more complicated than he could have imagined, and past and present mysteries collide, it will take everything Beau has to track down a dangerous vigilante killer. The result is an unforgettable read, and “newcomers and longtime series fans alike will be thrilled” (Publishers Weekly).

Three Thumbs Up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great story and twists and turns. The balance between personal drama in the main characters life, and the specific case he’s facing is balanced well. Love the PNW setting.

Great story with perfect ties to family, work and historical background

I always feel as though I am there with J.P. As he describes the methodical approach to every aspect of the story

Love JP Beaumont

Story lagged at times. But all in all was good. So many stages of the mystery.

Love all JA Jance books.

This book had a great story line and really kept my interest. I love that it was a clean book with no F words or graphic sexual scenes that so many books have these days.
J. P. Beaumont is my favorite JA Jance character. Hated to see the book end.

The different type of case

The inclusion of the grandson added an extra dimension to the story including JP learning new things.
