Smoke and Mirrors

By J.A. Jance

The next installment in J.A. Jance's New York Times bestselling and heart-pounding Ali Reynolds mystery series

A disgraced former TV anchor dies in a remote Nevada crash--but her family refuses to believe it was an accident.

When Holly Holbrook is killed shortly after pursuing a decades-old media scandal, her son Dave and grandmother begin digging for answers, uncovering evidence she was deliberately run off the road. Their search pulls in Ali Reynolds, a former anchor turned cybersecurity executive--and one of the last people to see Holly alive.

What starts as a suspicious death quickly unravels into something far bigger: a buried murder, a powerful network tied to drug trafficking, and a pattern of women silenced when they get too close to the truth. As digital forensics, old secrets, and relentless determination converge, the trio finds themselves facing a ruthless adversary who has spent years hiding in plain sight--and will kill again to stay that way.

Smoke and Mirrors is a high-stakes thriller about power, corruption, and the dangerous cost of exposing the truth.
