Long Time Gone by J A Jance

When a middle-aged nun unexpectedly recalls the grisly details of an unsolved murder she witnessed as a child, Special Homicide Investigation Team member J. P. Beaumont gets the case--an asignment that brings him close to a band of powerful co-conspirators who are willing to go to any lengths to keep their deadly secrets under wraps.

But murder turns personal when his former partner, Ron Peters--caught in a bitter custody battle--becomes the prime suspect after his ex-wife is viciously gunned down. Barred from any official involvement in the case, Beau must watch helplessly as his friend's new family is slowly torn apart.

And everywhere he turns, Beau and his new colleague, Melissa Soames, bump heads with his old adversary from the Seattle PD, Captain Paul Kramer. Faced with personal conflicts and shocking surprises, Beaumont must struggle to solve one of his most baffling and dangerous cases yet.
