Long Time Gone by J A Jance

Fifty years ago, when she was five, Sister Mary Katherine witnessed something terrible . . .

A former Seattle policeman now working for the Washington State Attorney's Special Homicide Investigation Team, J.P. Beaumont has been hand-picked to lead the investigation into a half-century-old murder. An eyewitness to the crime, a middle-aged nun, has now recalled grisly, forgotten details while undergoing hypnotherapy.

It's a case as cold as the grave, and it's running headlong into another that's tearing at Beau's heart: the vicious slaying of his former partner's ex-wife. What's worse, his rapidly unraveling friend is the prime suspect.

Caught in the middle of a lethal conspiracy that spans two generations and a killing that hits too close to home -- targeted by a vengeful adversary and tempted by a potential romance that threatens to reawaken his personal demons -- Beaumont may suddenly have more on his plate than he can handle, and far too much to survive.

Jance is the bestselling author of the Ali Reynolds series, as well as the J. The Walker family is featured in a variety of works, including the Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, and the Joanna Brady series. Jance worked as a librarian and a teacher on a Native American reserve before becoming an novelist. Jance and her husband live in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona. She was born in South Dakota and grew up in Bisbee, Arizona.
