A J.P. Beaumont Mystery Seattle police homicide detective J.P. Beaumont is babysitting his best friend's daughters on a sober New Year's Day when he is called to investigate a body floating in nearby Elliott Bay. The case draws him into the cutting-edge world of biotechnology, where business as usual means personal betrayals and selling trade secrets with ruthless efficiency. The more Beau discovers about the corpse, the more he's convinced that justice has already been served. Amid an exasperating, eccentric cast of characters including an ex-wife who is battling cancer, an overeager social worker who is trying to prove he's a pedophile and a partner who resents his inherited wealth, Beau struggles to find a killer he really doesn't want to find.
