"J.A. Jance is among the best--if not the best."

In Queen of the Night, New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance brings back the Walker family--introduced in Hour of the Hunter, terrorized in Kiss of the Bees, and last seen in Day of the Dead. A multilayered thriller, gripping and unforgettable--evocatively set in the breathtaking Arizona desert--Queen of the Night is a chilling tale of murder past and present that connects and devastates three separate families.

"A novel of suspense"--Cover.
