Sins of the fathers a J. P. Beaumont novel
(Large Type)

"Former Seattle homicide cop J. P. Beaumont, is learning to enjoy the new realities of retirement, which include doing crossword puzzles and getting his private investigator license. That was his wife's idea; Mel knew that someday someone would desperately need his help. And sure enough, that day has arrived--but not the way Beau expected. This time it's his own past that's come calling. An acquaintance from long ago, Alan Dale, shows up on Beau's doorstep with a newborn infant--his six-weeks-old granddaughter, Athena--asking for help. His drug-addicted daughter, Naomi, walked out of the hospital shortly after giving birth. Alan wants to take Athena home to Texas to raise her, only he can't leave Seattle with the baby until Naomi relinquishes her parental rights. She has to be found. In pursuing Alan's missing daughter, Beau finds himself pursuing an investigation with more curves and drops than a roller coaster. It's a search that turns his own life upside down and threatens to upend his hard-earned serenity. J. P. Beaumont has to contend with the fact that no matter how fast you run, you can't get away from what you've done...and that even in retirement, murder is still the name of his game"--Back cover.
