J.A. Jance is a best-selling mystery writer whose career spans decades, and her main characters keep pace with the decades that they have been her creation. One of these key characters is a private investigator, retired homicide cop J.P. 'Beau' Beaumont. Jance makes her home in the Puget Sound, the setting for Beau's life and work. In the latest entry of this gut-clenching suspense series, "Den of Iniquity," Beau and his wife get an unexpected visit from his 17-year-old grandson whose parents have separated. Beau also helps a friend and colleague with a suspicious fentanyl overdose victim. These contemporary themes take us on a most intense journey and make for a gripping read. 

J.A. Jance will be at Third Place Books in Lake Forrest Park on Tuesday September 10, 7pm, the day of this book's launch. Then on Friday, September 27, 7pm, she will be at the Redmond Regional Library.

Karin Slaughter is a best-selling author, considered one of the world's most popular storytellers. She's been on the NY Times best-seller's list more than 20 times, with her reach going global. Her Will Trent series of novels is as you might deduct, the source for the hit TV series of the same name starring Ramon Rodriguez. The days keep counting down until the 3rd season begins, and it still feels too far away. A good way to fill the time is to read Karin's newest release "This Is Why We Lied: A Will Trent Thriller." Karin's story-telling skills are in high gear as she takes us on a wild, twisty-turny ride that lasts only a few days, and is filled with thematic surprises and great insights about the human condition. Karin is the founder of the Save the Libraries project, a nonprofit organization established to support libraries and library programming.
