Baker & Taylor Struggling with the fallout of a failed marriage and halted career, former L.A. news anchorwoman Ali Reynolds finds her tenacious new life in her Arizona hometown threatened by the murder of a real estate tycoon.
Simon and Schuster New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance returns with her âcompellingâ¦satisfyingâ (USA TODAY) third novel in the gripping suspense series featuring ex-television journalist Ali Reynolds.
With his hand trapped in the door of a speeding car, a man struggles to remain upright as heâs dragged along a deserted stretch of San Juan Road in Phoenixâs South Mountain Preserve. Itâs the perfect place to drive a man to his graveâliterally. Starting with a crime so gruesome even prowling coyotes keep their distance from the remains, a killer begins crisscrossing the Southwest on a spree of grisly murders.
A hundred miles away, Ali Reynolds is grieving. The news-casting job she once delighted in is goneâand so is the philandering husband she once loved and thought she knew. When a member of the family who gave Ali a generous scholarship decades earlier suddenly asks her for a meeting, Ali wonders what it can mean. Before she can satisfy her curiosity, though, Ali receives another startling call: a friendâs teenage daughter has disappeared. Ali offers to help. But in doing so, she unknowingly begins a quest that will reveal a deadly ring of secrets, at the center of which stand two undiscriminating killers.
Hand of Evil is Jance at her best, weaving a masterful âliterary jigsaw puzzleâ (The Tennessean, Nashville) and story of suspense that travels over generations, exposing two very different women with the same horrifying secret. Will Ali become a victim herself, or will she escape from a deadly deceit that no amount of securityâfinancial or emotionalâcan cover up?
