📱 eBook en inglés NIGHT PASSAGE

The First Jesse Stone Mystery

After a busted marriage kicks his drinking problems into overdrive and the LAPD unceremoniously dump him, 35-year-old Jesse Stones future looks bleak.

So hes shocked when a small Massachusetts town called Paradise hires him as their police chief.

Once on board he doesnt have to look for trouble in Paradise - it comes to him.

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.

He finds he must test his mettle and powers of command to emerge a local hero - or the deadest of dupes.

Parker has always been a master of razor-sharp and witty dialogue, hard-driving suspense and memorable characterization. His Jesse Stone series promises to match if not excel the Spenser novels. Night Passage is a stunning debut.Houston Chronicle
