MOVING TARGET

J.A. Jance

With unsolved murders on both sides of the Atlantic, MOVING TARGET finds Ali, B., and Sister Anselm united again in sleuthing—and in the jeopardy their investigations put them in.
When Lance Tucker, an incarcerated juvenile offender and a talented hacker in his own right, is set on fire and severely burned while hanging Christmas decorations in a lockup rec room, B. Simpson, Ali Reynolds's fiancé and the man who helped put Lance in jail, feels obliged to get to the bottom of what happened. With Ali off in England to help Leland Brooks with a reunion with his long-estranged family, B. turns to someone else to help out—Ali’s good friend and Taser-carrying nun, Sister Anselm.

Meanwhile, in Bournemouth—Leland’s hometown—Ali crosses paths with some unsavory characters with plenty to hide when she begins to investigate the decades-old murder of Leland’s father, a murder Leland was once suspected of.

With unsolved murders on both sides of the Atlantic, MOVING TARGET finds Ali, B., and Sister Anselm united again in sleuthing—and in the jeopardy their investigations put them in.

J. A. Jance is the New York Times bestselling author of the Ali Reynolds series, the J.P. Beaumont series, and the Joanna Brady series, as well as four interrelated Southwestern thrillers featuring the Walker family. Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona.
