Synopsis

*New York Times bestseller*

The brilliant new novel in Robert B. Parker’s New York Times–bestselling series featuring police chief Jesse Stone. 

All is quiet in Paradise, except for a spate of innocuous vandalism. Good thing, too, because Jesse Stone is preoccupied with the women in his life, both past and present. As his ex-wife, Jenn, is about to marry a Dallas real-estate tycoon, Jesse isn’t too sure his relationship with former FBI agent Diana Evans is built to last. But those concerns get put on the back burner when a major Boston crime boss is brutally murdered. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Jesse suspects it’s the work of Mr. Peepers, a psychotic assassin who has caused trouble for Jesse in the past.

Peepers has long promised revenge against the Mob, Jesse, and Suit for their roles in foiling one of his hits—and against Jenn as well. And though Jesse and Jenn have long parted ways, Jesse still feels responsible for her safety. Jesse and Diana head to Dallas for the wedding and, along with the tycoon’s security team, try to stop Peepers before the bill comes due. With Peepers toying with the authorities as to when and where he’ll strike, Jesse is up against the wall. Still, there’s a debt to pay and blood to be spilled to satisfy it. But whose blood, and just how much?

Goodreads review by Monnie on September 18, 2016

Let me get this out of the way up front: I'm giving this book 4 stars because of its interesting, fast-paced plot. But when it comes to character development in the style of the late, great Robert B. Parker, I'd be hard-pressed to give it 3. Conclusion? If you haven't read Parker's books featuring s......more

Goodreads review by Mark on March 24, 2024

They way I’m reading the books in the various Robert B. Parker series that I’ve missed is a bit like reading one of those multiple author mystery collections…I mean, besides Parker himself, there a variety of legacy authors that have done such a wonderful job maintaining the various series in an alm......more

Goodreads review by Art on September 28, 2016

Reed Farrel Coleman continues to grow into the Jesse Stone series. This is by far his best effort and may take Stone places Robert B. Parker had not contemplated. And that, in itself, is a wonder. Because it gives the characters and their storyline a life that surpasses the lifespan of their creator.......more

Goodreads review by Don on September 22, 2016

(3 12). Reed Farrel Coleman is one hell of an entertaining writer. His revitalization of the Jesse Stone franchise has been stellar and his other work is big fun as well. This story is pretty dramatic and edgy from the start, the only drawback I can find is that it feels a little drawn out most of t......more
