Be careful what you wish for... Before he retired, J. P. Beaumont had looked forward to having his days to himself and spending quality time with his busy wife, Mel, Bellingham's chief of police, and his two grown children. But too much free time doesn't suit a man used to brushing close to danger. Beau wants to do something useful -- a wish that is soon fulfilled in spades. When his longtime nemesis, retired Seattle crime reporter Maxwell Cole, dies in what's officially deemed to be an accidental fire, Beau is astonished to be dragged into the investigation at the request of none other than the deceased victim himself. On opposite sides of the homicide coin, there'd been bad blood between the two men for years. In the process, Beau learns that just because a long-ago case was solved doesn't mean it's over. It seems that before his death, Cole was writing a book about some of the investigations he'd covered, and stumbled on information on a past crime involving Beau. Caught up in a situation where old actions and grudges can hold dangerous consequences in the present, Beau is forced to operate outside the familiar world of law enforcement. While seeking justice for his frenemy and healing for a long-fractured family, he comes face to face with an implacable enemy who has spent decades hiding in plain sight -- and his own past self.--,Provided by publisher.
