Summary
Bestselling author J.A. Jance brings back her popular Seattle investigator, J.P. Beaumont, in "Justice Denied," a story of conspiracy and murder. Beaumont is given an assignment to find out what really happened in the shooting death of an ex-con. Naturally, the case, which seems straightforward, turns out to be not so. Meanwhile, Beaumont's lover and fellow cop, Mel, investigates some cold cases that become intertwined with his. The pair stumble on a nightmare - conspiracy and corruption that might involve their own bosses. Jance also is the author of the Joanna Brady series and three interrelated thrillers featuring the Walker family among other titles. She lives in Seattle and Tucson, Ariz.
Ellen Baker, a bookseller and event coordinator at a bookstore in Superior, comes to Milwaukee this month to promote her debut novel, "Keeping the House," a story of a newlywed who falls for a grand, abandoned house in town. It is the conformist 1950s, and Dolly Madison moves to Pine Rapids as a newlywed. She supports her husband, worries about what to make for dinner and joins a quilting circle. Restless and bored by her housewife role, she is drawn to an empty old house on top of a hill. The house belonged to the once- prominent Mickelson family, and Madison begins to unravel dark family secrets, a story that begins in 1896 and runs parallel to her own. Baker's first novel has been compared to the work of Elizabeth Berg and Anne Tyler. She works at J.W. Beecroft Books & Coffee in Superior when she is not writing fiction.See the full content of this document
