Robert B. Parker introduces readers to police chief Jesse Stone in
the first novel in the beloved mystery series-a New York Times
bestseller. After a busted marriage kicks his drinking problem into
overdrive and the LAPD unceremoniously dumps him,
thirty-five-year-old Jesse Stone's future looks bleak. So he's
shocked when a small Massachusetts town called Paradise recruits
him as police chief. He can't help wondering if this job is a
genuine chance to start over, the kind of offer he can't refuse.
Once on board, Jesse doesn't have to look for trouble in Paradise:
it comes to him. For what is on the surface a quiet New England
community quickly proves to be a crucible of political and moral
corruption-replete with triple homicide, tight Boston mob ties,
flamboyantly errant spouses, maddened militiamen and a
psychopath-about-town who has fixed his violent sights on the new
lawman. Against all this, Jesse stands utterly alone, with no one
to trust-even he and the woman he's seeing are like ships passing
in the night. He finds he must test his mettle and powers of
command to emerge a local hero-or the deadest of dupes.
