Synopsis

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.

Love Jesse being sober. The mystery storyline is ok. Didn’t like all the women in the entire story objectified. All of them described as built and beautiful.

Goodreads review by Bob on October 14, 2020

Jesse Stone is one of my all time favorite books (and TV series/Hallmark Show). His struggles with drinking throughout the series is both realistic and part of Jesse's character. It makes the series so real that he tries and fails and tries and fails. MIke Lupica, in his first try at Jesse Stone, ha......more
