All hell is breaking loose in Paradise… the mob is moving in, an ex-con sneaks into town seeking revenge against Jesse, and there’s bullying and sexual abuse at the local high school… another worthwhile Jesse Stone story.

I love the Jesse Stone movies. This was my first book, and I LOVED it! It was easy to read and had me on the edge of my seat at one point. Picturing Tom Selleck as Jesse was very satisfying.

The new author Brandman, taking over for the deceased Robert B Parker did a great job of keeping the spirit of Jesse Stone and the pacing similar, but he added some nice layers of real human emotion.
