Dismissed with prejudice

Top ten New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance’s classic tale of suspense featuring Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont and his desperate race to track down a twisted killer.Japanese businessman Tadeo Kurobashi had many passions, including computers, poetry, money, and Samurai lore. So his suicide method of choice would naturally be the ancient art of seppuku - what the uninitiated call “hara-kiri.” But despite the bloody Samurai sword Kurobashi clutches tightly in his lifeless hand, Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont senses the dead software magnate played a less active role in his own demise. Because glaring errors have been made in the time-honoured Asian death ritual - which has Beau looking for someone with a less traditional passion…for cold-blooded homicide.

First sentence: The jangling telephone reverberated through my head, ramming its way through champagne-stupefied senses, jarring awake both me and a pounding headache.
