Dance of the Bones: A J. P. Beaumont and Brandon Walker Novel (J. P. Beaumont Novel Book 24)

J. P. Beaumont and Brandon Walker, two of J. A. Jance's acclaimed series characters, work together for the first time in this novel. Years ago, prospector Amos Warren was shot in the desert, and Sheriff Brandon Walker arrested the alleged killer, John Lassiter. Now retired, Walker is contacted when Lassiter refuses a plea deal and instead asks Walker and The Last Chance to find Amos's "real" killer and clear his name. Meanwhile, in Seattle, J.P. Beaumont finds himself without direction after his unit, the Special Homicide Investigation Team (S.H.I.T.), is unexpectedly disbanded. When Brandon discovers connections between Lassiter's case and an unsolved Seattle case, he asks Beaumont for assistance. The investigation intensifies when two young boys from the reservation—one with close ties to the Walker family—go missing. The two seasoned detectives must work together to solve the puzzle before time runs out.
