A girl is strangled to death, captured on video that appears on the cell phone of the teenage grandson of Washington State's governor. So the governor calls in her good friend J.P. Beaumont of the attorney general's Special Homicide Squad to discover what really happened. Soon it goes beyond putative teenage murderers to conspiracy in the state government. Jance's books sell at a clip of 1000 a month, and with a one-day laydown on July 26 and a 200,000-copy first printing, you know this is expected to be big. An eight-city tour.
