Publisher's Note
A major crime-fiction event from the creator of the Spenser novels. After he is unceremoniously dumped from the LAPD, 35-year-old Jesse Stone is looking at what seems to be a bleak future. So, when he's offered the job of police chief in a small Massachusetts town, he can't help but wonder if this job is a genuine chance to start over. Once on board, Jesse doesn't have to look far for trouble: the seemingly quiet New England community is a hotbed of political and moral corruption.

Industry Reviews
"Parker here is attempting to create a rougher, more alienated world than Spenser's Boston. In addition, Jesse's relative youth and personal instability make him a more flawed and fluid character than Spenser, so it will be interesting to see how Parker develops him in succeeding novels."
Washington Post Book World - Maureen Corrigan (08/31/1997)

"The spare style of Parker's third-person narrative cleans the air and sharpens Jesse's sense of alienation in Paradise, a pretty place with an ugly secret that the corrupt civil leaders assume will not be noticed by a lush like Jesse....Indeed, with his strength of character and clarity of mind miraculously restored, Jesse begins to exercise the kind of moral convictions that could get him killed--or compared to Spenser."
New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (09/21/1997)

"A couple of well-timed surprises, some deft nature writing and a dash of social satire add zest to this adroitly handled entry."
Wall Street Journal - Tom Nolan (10/03/1997)

"You can always rely on Parker for some great talk and great scenes."
Marsalis
