Still Dead: J.P. Beaumont Novella

Featuring a sneak peek of the next J. P. Beaumont novel, "Proof of Life," an e-original novella from bestselling author J. A. Jance, follows the story of retired homicide investigator J. P. Beaumont. His main concern after disbanding the Special Homicide Investigation Team is whether to adopt a dog with his wife, Mel. However, everything changes when he receives a voicemail from his old friend Ralph Ames, introducing him to an organization called The Last Chance.

The Last Chance recruits retired homicide investigators like Beaumont to solve long-unsolved cold cases. Beaumont's current case involves a thirty-year-old missing person, Janice Marie Harrison. Her abandoned car was found near a bridge with the word "sorry" scratched nearby, suggesting a possible suicide. Despite this, her body was never discovered.

As Beaumont delves into the investigation, he realizes that everyone connected to Janice - her widower Anders, her sister Estelle, sheriff Gavin Loper, and Anders's second wife Betsy - all have hidden secrets. The question remains: who knows the truth about Janice's disappearance, and why have they concealed it for so long?
