Seattle shamus J.P. Beaumont, who’s been battling the bottle while his creator dallied with her other detective, Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady (Rattlesnake Canyon, p. 933, etc.), is back for the first time since Name Withheld (1996). Now, he’s got a new partner, a new case—an old woman burned to death in her bed—and a whole new set of problems.
