A Jesse Stone Novel
Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone faces the case of his career in the newest novel in the bestselling series
When a woman's partially decomposed body washes ashore in Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone is forced into a case far more difficult than it initially appears.
"... much of the dialogue is interchangeable: witty, flirtatious, droll and sexually charged. The outcome manages to be both surprising and depressing. Stone is a work in progress whose following is likely to increase as he continues to grow." - Publishers Weekly.
"Parker's signature smart-ass dialogue is beginning to sound stale, even weak....Similarly tired is the cutesy relationship between Stone and his ex-wife..." - Booklist.
