Description

When an unknown man is found murdered in Paradise, Jesse Stone will have his hands full finding out who he was--and what he was seeking.

When a body is discovered at the lake in Paradise, Police Chief Jesse Stone is surprised to find he recognizes the murder victim--the man had been at the same AA meeting as Jesse the evening before. But otherwise, Jesse has no clue as to the man's identity. He isn't a local, nor does he have ID on him, nor does any neighboring state have a reported missing person matching his description. Their single lead is from a taxi company that recalls dropping off the mysterious stranger outside the gate at the mansion of one of the wealthiest families in town. . . .

Meanwhile, after Jesse survives a hail of gunfire on his home, he wonders if it could be related to the murder. When both Molly Crane and Suitcase Simpson also become targets, it's clear someone has an ax to grind against the entire Paradise PD.

Reviews

  • Too much about drinking

    The story is good , but way too much about to drink or not to drink. And to bring Vinnie in and not do anything what was that about ? It’s a good story but Jesse should not be as weak as you make him out to be .

    Terrific read. Complex whodunit with Chief Stone right in the middle. Almost as if written byRBP himself. Five stars all the way.
  • One reference by a character .......

    I liked this book. These books are easy reads and provide me with a period of escapism. However, late in the book there was a reference made to Epstein that I felt was very far from the character’s usual expression. Not a big issue, but a little off-putting.
