Without Due Process (J. P. Beaumont Series #10) Book

For me, this was the best yet of the Beaumont series. It was fast moving, the characters were all interesting, and the story elements were interesting. As the novel opens, we see Beaumont and his partner, Big Al answering a call that turns out to have been the brutal murder of one of Big Al's closest friends along with his entire family including the dog. The murdered cop was one of the few African-Americans on the Seattle police force and Beau's "old buddy" Kramer wants it an open and shut race related killing. Along the way it is discovered that the actual killer or killers may have been Seattle cops and Beau winds up working secretly for Internal Investigations. Only the requirements of work and sleep kept me away from finishing this novel in one stretch. It was truly a page-turner. If you like mysteries of the police procedural variety, give this one a look. I'll be willing to bet you won't regret it.
