Betrayal of Trust, written in 2011, one of the J.P. Beaumont series is one of Jance’s best books. J.P.

In Betrayal of Trust, the governor of Washington State calls for help when she finds a “snuff film” on her ward’s cell phone. Fearing that he may be involved, she starts an investigation that leads thru a maze of teenage victims, crime and fear. From bullying to sexual abuse, arson and murder – J P Beaumont vows to get to the bottom of these heinous crimes and bring the guilty to justice. An excellent book by an excellent writer, J. A.
