Author and Issaquah resident J.A.Jance will speak at the Issaquah Library at 5 p.m. Sept. 10.

Her new book, Second Watch, is the 21st mystery featuring J.P. Beaumont. In the novel, Beaumont is finally getting around to having his knee replacement surgery, but he’s in for more than that. A series of dreams bring him back first to his early days on the force at the Seattle Police Department and then, even earlier, to his days in Vietnam.

Drug induced hallucinations? Maybe. But his haunting visitors from the past lead him into current complications where the dead bodies from the Second Watch won’t stay buried.

The library is located at 10 W Sunset Way.
