Ali Reynolds Series

For the first time as a premium edition, a reissue of the first book in the Ali Reynolds series by New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance

The novel introduces Alison Reynolds, a Los Angeles television journalist abruptly dismissed from her news anchor desk after seven years on the air.

Jance sends her protagonist home to the red rocks of Sedona, seeking refuge from both professional betrayal and a crumbling California marriage.

Sedona offers little peace when a childhood friend’s vehicle plunges off the rim of Schnebly Hill Road. While investigators label the crash a suicide, the narrative follows Ali as an unexpected online blog becomes her weapon to uncover the truth.

• Small Town Setting: The red rock canyons of Sedona and the bustling family-owned Sugarloaf Café ground the story in a close-knit Arizona community where everyone knows everyone else’s business.
• Amateur Sleuth: Armed with broadcast reporting instincts and an unexpected cyber-following, Ali sifts through local gossip and suspicious financial trails that the sheriff’s department overlooks.
• Suspense Thriller: An icy descent down the Mogollon Rim and the care of an abandoned one-eyed cat named Samantha pull Ali into a dangerous maze of buried secrets and hidden motives.
• Also by This Author: Nothing to Lose, Second Watch and Missing and Endangered.
