"Parker has always been a master of razor-sharp and witty dialogue, hard-driving suspense and memorable characterization. Praise for Night Passage "Parker's sentences flow with as much wit, grace and assurance as ever, and Stone is a complex and consistently interesting new protagonist."- Newsday He finds he must test his mettle and powers of command to emerge a local hero-or the deadest of dupes. Against all this, Jesse stands utterly alone, with no one to trust-even he and the woman he's seeing are like ships passing in the night. For what is on the surface a quiet New England community quickly proves to be a crucible of political and moral corruption-replete with triple homicide, tight Boston mob ties, flamboyantly errant spouses, maddened militiamen and a psychopath-about-town who has fixed his violent sights on the new lawman. Once on board, Jesse doesn't have to look for trouble in Paradise: it comes to him. He can't help wondering if this job is a genuine chance to start over, the kind of offer he can't refuse. So he's shocked when a small Massachusetts town called Paradise recruits him as police chief. After a busted marriage kicks his drinking problem into overdrive and the LAPD unceremoniously dumps him, thirty-five-year-old Jesse Stone's future looks bleak. Parker introduces readers to police chief Jesse Stone in the first novel in the beloved mystery series-a New York Times bestseller.
