Clawback

This is the 11th novel in J.A. Jance's "Ali Reynolds" series. When I lived in Seattle, I was an ardent consumer of her J.P. Beaumont books, which were largely set in Seattle,  but I sort of fell away from reading when she moved her base to Arizona with the Joanna Brady series.
Ali Reynolds is a former Los Angeles TV newscaster who was let go and replaced with a younger-faced woman. Coincidentally, she discovered her husband was cheating on her. Leaving LA, she returned home to Sedona, Arizona, where her parents ran the Sugarloaf Cafe, and became a blogger. By the time of this book, she has become a consultant to the Sedona police department and she is married to an old flame, B. Simpson, owner of a high-tech/ computer security firm, High Noon Enterprises, and her parents have sold the diner and retired. When the news breaks that the company where her parents invested all their savings has gone bankrupt, Ali's dad decides to go the house of his long-time friend and financial advisor and confront him. Instead, he finds the man and his wife dying from multiple stab wounds. When he calls 911 and then tries to help them, he is arrested for their murders. Now Ali is determined not only to clear her father of the murder charges but to track down the mastermind of the Ponzi scheme and get some of their money back. Fortunately she has the substantial resources--human and technological-- of her husband's firm to bring to bear on the hunt. Ali and company are blind-sided by the identity of the real killer, who will stop at nothing to get away.
Not a best-seller but an engrossing read, and I think I will go back and start at the beginning! Of course, having gone to Sedona last fall for the first time will make it even more fun to read this series.
