Web of Evil

About this book

In this "gripping" (South Florida Sun-Sentinel) fast-paced murder mystery from J.A. Jance's New York Times bestselling Ali Reynolds series, Ali becomes the prime suspect when her soon-to-be-ex-husband turns up dead--and must unravel a twisted web of secrets to clear her name. The highway from Los Angeles to the Palm Springs desert is parched, unforgiving, and deadly. In the suffocating stillness of a car trunk, a man--his mouth and hands bound with tape--waits to learn his fate. Fortunately for him, he'll never know. What possible enemy could be bitter enough to commit such a heinous crime? And when will the monster make another move? Ali Reynolds is traveling that same blistering, lonesome highway, looking forward to putting her past behind her. She left Los Angeles for the comforts of home in Sedona, Arizona. But her cheating husband is in a hurry for a divorce; his very young and very pregnant fiancée has a wedding planned for the next day. And the television network that wrongfully dismissed Ali for the sole sin of being over forty will face her in court as well. So, Ali must return to the scene of those crimes. As she passes the site of a horrifying accident, she's thankful it's no longer her job to report the news. Until she finds out the news is her own: the victim is Ali's husband and what appeared to be a fatal accident becomes a murder investigation, and Ali soon finds herself the prime suspect at the center of a terrifying web of evil.
