Edge of Evil: A Novel of Suspense

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.

• 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.
