Day Of The Dead A Novel of Suspence by New York Times Best selling Author J. A. Jance and Performed by J.R. Horne. Abridged on 5 Compact Discs and 6 Hours of Listening Time. Used in excellent Condition.
Jance's third suspense thriller to feature ex-sheriff Brandon Walker and his family (after Hour of the Hunter and Kiss of the Bees) deftly mixes Native American mythology with a harrowing plot. An old Tohono O'odham woman, Emma Orozco, asks Walker for help in solving the brutal murder of her daughter, Roseanne, who was slain in 1970. Walker is able to take on the challenge because of his membership in TLC, The Last Chance, a privately funded agency that looks into old, unsolved crimes. This ingenious arrangement allows for great flexibility in the action of the story.
As Walker searches for clues in Roseanne's death, he comes across similar murders—each with no leads, each involving a dismembered body left alongside a road in the Southwest. The reader learns more and more about the killers, the sexually voracious, utterly amoral Gayle Stryker and her husband, Larry, a truly effective pair of monsters. Meanwhile, Walker's dear friend Fat Crack Ortiz, a Tohono O'odham man, is dying of complications from diabetes. Most of Walker's friends, in fact, are Indians, as is his adopted daughter, Lani. He draws not so much knowledge as strength and perspective from them—no mumbo-jumbo here, only believable sensitivity.

| Synopsis | This thriller by the popular author of the J. P. Beaumont series and the Joanna Brady series is the third to take place on the Tohono O'odham reservation in Arizona. Retired Pima County sheriff Brandon Walker is feeling lost and purposeless. Salvation comes to him in an invitation to join Last Chance, a group of retirees like himself who are dedicated to solving cold cases. His first case involves tracking down the culprit who killed and mutilated a Native American teenage girl 30 years ago, a murderer (or is it murderers?) who has not remained idle in the intervening years....

| | Publisher's Note | Follow New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance into the majestic and merciless Southwestern desert to experience the chill of true terror. Brandon Walker, once the sheriff of Pima County, Arizona, no longer feels he has purpose. A reluctant retiree living in the long shadow of his wife, Diana Ladd, a successful author of true-crime books, he is bored with life. Salvation comes with an invitation to join The Last Chance, an exclusive fraternity of former cops and forensic experts who look into unsolved murders. One case is staring Brandon in the face with cold, dead, entreating eyes -- an investigation that may have been mishandled by his department when he was a young lawman. For more than thirty years, the brutal murder of a local Papago girl has remained a mystery. The trail of the killer soon leads Brandon into a strange world at the unlikely border between forensic science and tribal mysticism: a place where evil hides behind a perfect facade. Now the seeds of terror sown three decades earlier are bearing awful fruit. A forgotten homicide in the Arizona desert is the beginning of a nightmare that is about to ensnare Brandon -- the only person still alive who can unravel a truth more frightening than he ever imagined. A novel that bristles with electrifying intensity and is alive with the breathtaking atmosphere and rich characterizations that have become J. A. Jance trademarks, Day of the Dead is a gripping and extraordinary journey into the darkness and the author's most spellbinding thriller to date. Performed by J. R. Horne
| | Industry reviews | "...[A] rousing plot filled with action, betrayal and murder....Jance masterfully pulls together the many storylines, and the subplot, concerning the Indian folklore and traditions, adds a richness to the book."
