原文

Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont uncovers a dark and deadly conspiracy that reaches deep into the halls of state government, in this latest thriller from New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance

At first glance, the video appears to be showing a childish game: a teenage girl with dark wavy hair smiles for the camera, a blue scarf tied around her neck. All of a sudden things turn murderous, and the girl ends up dead.

It’s as bad as a snuff film can get, and what’s worse, the clip has been discovered on a phone that belongs to the grandson of Washington State’s governor. However, the boy, who has a troubled background, swears that he’s never seen the victim before.

Fortunately, the governor is able to turn to an old friend, J. P. Beaumont, for help. The Seattle private investigator has witnessed many horrific acts over the years, but this one ranks near the top. Even more shocking is that the crime’s multiple perpetrators could be minors.

Along with Mel Soames, his partner in life as well as on the job, Beaumont soon determines that what initially appears to be a childish prank gone wrong has much deeper implications. But Mel and Beau must follow this path of corruption to its very end, before more innocent young lives are lost.

答:Jance >现在考虑令人印象深刻的职业-包括两个大型流行的神秘系列和地位——纽约时报》上的畅销书,很难相信她最初强烈劝阻文学喜好。一个chauvinistic创意写作教授建议她去寻找一个更“文雅”的工作,如护士或教师。此外,酒鬼丈夫(模仿一个失败的福克纳)向她保证,在家庭中有房间只有一个作家,他很自负。决心使她注定要失败的婚姻的工作,Jance把她的写作在冷板凳上。”但是当她的丈夫睡了,她在内脏的诗歌最终会被收集在火里。

Jance下选择使用她的艰难时刻更可能的方式。鼓励尝试写小说编辑的尝试失败后true-crime书,她创造了j . p .博蒙特,杀人侦探品位酒。博蒙特的喝酒的问题显然是与Jance令人生畏的经验,她的第一个丈夫;但是,随着她解释说:“博蒙特足够聪明才能清醒过来,一旦问题被带到他的注意。我的丈夫,另一方面,死于慢性酒精中毒享年42岁。“所以,从不幸增长最受欢迎的角色之一在现代神秘小说。博蒙特1985年问世的,直到被证明有罪,经过多年的她的写作生涯推迟,Jance在她的道路。

作为一种光到黑暗在于着,她的第二个系列Jance创建于1991年。灵感来自于作者的幸福当作一个妈妈,一群勇敢的小镇警长乔安娜·布雷迪被介绍在沙漠热量和达成与读者直接和弦。在2005年,Jance增添了第三个故事序列和边她邪恶的曲目,具有阿里雷诺前电视节目reporter-turned-professional博客。

原文

Considering J. A. Jance's now impressive career -- which includes two massively popular mystery series and status as a New York Times bestseller -- it may be difficult to believe that she was initially strongly discouraged from literary pursuits. A chauvinistic creative writing professor advised her to seek out a more "ladylike" job, such as nurse or schoolteacher. Moreover, her alcoholic husband (a failed Faulkner wannabe) assured her there was room in the family for only one writer, and he was it. Determined to make her doomed marriage work, Jance put her writing on the back burner. But while her husband slept, she penned the visceral poems that would eventually be collected in After the Fire.

Jance next chose to use her hard times in a more unlikely manner. Encouraged by an editor to try writing fiction after a failed attempt at a true-crime book, she created J. P. Beaumont, a homicide detective with a taste for booze. Beaumont's drinking problem was clearly linked to Jance's dreadful experiences with her first husband; but, as she explains it: "Beaumont was smart enough to sober up, once the problem was brought to his attention. My husband, on the other hand, died of chronic alcoholism at age 42." So, from misfortune grew one of the most popular characters in modern mystery fiction. Beaumont debuted in 1985's Until Proven Guilty -- and, after years of postponing her writing career, Jance was on her way.

As a sort of light flipside to the dark Beaumont, Jance created her second series in 1991. Inspired by the writer's happier role as a mom, plucky small-town sheriff Joanna Brady was introduced in Desert Heat and struck an immediate chord with readers. In 2005, Jance added a third story sequence to her repertoire with Edge of Evil, featuring Ali Reynolds, a former TV reporter-turned-professional blogger.

And so, the adventures continue! A career such as Jance's would be extraordinary under any circumstances, but considering the obstacles she overcame to become a bestselling, critically acclaimed novelist, her tale is all the more compelling. As she explains it: "One of the wonderful things about being a writer is that everything -- even the bad stuff -- is usable."
