Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone returns, tracking the path of a pair of thrill killers. Investigating a serial killer in an affluent suburban town is difficult, and dangerous, and with the added pressures from the town selectmen and the media, the heat is turned up on Jesse. He's spending too much time with the bottle-and with his ex-wife-neither of which helps him, or the case. And the harder these outside forces push against him, the more Jesse retreats into himself, convinced-despite all the odds-that it's up to him alone to stop the killing. As tough, clear-eyed, and sardonic as Jesse Stone himself, this is the Grand Master working at the peak of his powers.

Add a CommentThis is a real page turner; a quick read. The crisp and often funny banter in the dialogs is enjoyable. Reminds me of the detectives of bygone days such as Sam Spade. Good to read the Jesse Stone books starting from the first book in the series because you learn a little more about the regular characters as you go.
The Jesse Stone novels are always an enjoyable read. Nothing ground breaking but fun and interesting. Always enjoy them.

Reading this novel for the second time. The Autyhor's charcters are priceless.
Author is very adept at portraying the lead characters dry sense of humour. I laughed out loud at some of it.
