Book Description
The incomparable J. A. Jance returns with a powerful tale that explores the darkest corners of human nature, revealing the grievous injuries inflicted behind locked doors, the unseen wounds that bleed and destroy and never heal ... The heat is a killer in Cochise County, Arizona, with temperatures over 100 degrees. In the suffocating stillness of an airless trailer, a woman is lying dead, a bullet hole in her chest. Why someone would murder a harmless loner with a soft spot for stray dogs is only one of the questions nagging at the local police; another is why the killer used an eighty-five-year-old bullet, fired from the same weapon that slaughtered two other women who were discovered bound, naked, and gruesomely posed on the remote edge of a rancher's land. The slayings are as oppressive as the blistering heat for Sheriff Joanna Brady, who must shoulder the added double burden of a brutal reelection campaign and major developments on the home front. With suddenly more on her plate than many big-city law officers have to contend with, Joanna must put marital distractions and an opponent's dirty tricks in the background and deal with the terrifying reality that now threatens everyone in her jurisdiction: a serial killer in their midst. A twisted and lethal drama is unfolding in this small corner of the southwestern desert as fear, hatred, and the evil at the core of one family's history come to a rapid boil beneath a merciless Arizona sun. Pressure mounts for Sheriff Brady personally and professionally while she pursues a sadistic murderer into the shadows of the past to get to the roots of a monstrous obsession ... and expose the permanent wounds of a crime far worse than homicide.

Heat kills in Cochise County, Arizona, but the woman lying dead inside an airless trailer is the victim of a serial killer's eighty-five-year-old bullet, not the weather.

 A Book For the Masochist in us all July 8, 2008
What a fantastic book! I picked up this gem from the airport in Chicago on the way to a four hour flight to Vancouver. Almost instantly after realizing the preview on the back of the book was not only slightly misleading, but was basically also the entire plot I felt like drowning myself in the bathroom toilet of the airplane. I fear it may have been for the best too, but I couldn't follow through. The psychological boredom from reading this can never be reversed. There are a lot of other painful things, like Russian Roulette, I'd rather do before ever reading this piece of utter trash again.
I really gave it a shot too, I read it cover to cover, I really was waiting for that moment where the book would become intelligent, something other than a completely predictable plot that I couldn't care less about.
Anyone who enjoys bad Lifetime movies about abusive fathers or any other cliche plot you can throw at them you may find this book almost good. I must say I was sickened to see that this has anything above a two star rating on Amazon. My only thought is that these are the same people who like to watch things like Two Girls, One Cup and the BME Pain Olympics.
Amazon, I plead with you. Since you probably can't end world hunger please do the next best thing and discontinue sale of the biggest pile of trash I have ever had the pleasure of reading. If other sellers decide they're going to try and get in on the action of selling this book anyway remove their fingers and feed them to their children. No one should ever have to be put through the mental anguish inflicted by Exit Wounds.
 Joanna Brady series June 1, 2008
I am so enchanted by Joanna Brady as County Sheriff. The mysteries are very satisfying. I often was surprised by the endings in this series. I can't wait for more of Joanna.
Wonderful!!! April 12, 2008
We have throughly enjoyed the entire "Joanna Brady" Series and this was no exception! Can't wait to read #13!!!
Very Entertaining....a True Page-turner ! May 10, 2007

Over the years, I've read quite a few of Jance's novels, and I really like her writing style. Her character development is strong, and her language is easy to read.......her use of imagery has none of the "imagery gone wild" approach that some authors seem to embrace.
This book and its Southern Arizona setting is particularly appealing to me, and will be to any readers familiar with the area or who is interested in the Southwest.
The earlier criticism of a reviewer who felt her female characters were too strong and the males too compliant and weak, is hard to understand. I felt almost the opposite, that Joanna maintained a remarkable degree of femininity given her job as Sheriff, and her male "support staff" which included her husband, seemed very male and secure in their maleness. They all exhibited that small town warmth and comraderie that is part of the charm of the Southwest, and lots of small towns everywhere.
J A Jance never disappoints.
Zero stars if there was an option!! October 27, 2006

This was my first Jance novel and probably my last. I am an open minded progressive reader of many novels and believe that we are all entitled to free speech and thought but throughout this book, men are relegated to subordinate if not subservient roles which is clearly not mainstream or believable. Many false assertions regarding the Catholic church abound with a specific reference to pediphile priests being dumped in New Mexico as if it was a known fact. The most offensive reference being that God clearly must be a woman. Do not buy from this author if morally conservative.
