Summary:

For years, the adventures of Detective Inspector Ben Jurnet - from his dedicated police work to his equally dedicated quest to win the hand of the beautiful Miriam - have made S.T. Haymon one of the most acclaimed mystery novelists writing today. In A Beautiful Death, Haymon is at the height of her powers, offering an emotionally charged story that will shock and spellbind both longtime fans and new readers. A fluttering of bronze hair and a murmured farewell are all.

Jurnet - deep in the troubled sleep of a police inspector - comprehends. He barely even feels the explosion that destroys the front flat of the village apartment complex where he is desperately trying to dream away the horrors of humanity. But violence intrudes at last, more cruel that Jurnet ever thought possible. Up from bed, Jurnet finds his car had been blown up (quite expertly, he is copper enough to notice). The bomb was apparently meant for him, but it has taken.

Another victim - someone whose life he would gladly exchange for his own. Heartbroken, Jurnet embarks upon a quest into his own past, working to discover what person harbors enough venom against him to resort to murder.
