Resumen del Editor

A nor'easter blows into Paradise and churns up the past in the stunning new addition to Robert B. Parker's New York Times best-selling series featuring Police Chief Jesse Stone.

In the wake of a huge storm, three bodies are discovered in the rubble of an abandoned factory building in an industrial part of Paradise known as The Swap. One body, a man's, wrapped in a blue tarp, is only hours old. But found within feet of that body are the skeletal remains of two teenage girls who had gone missing during a Fourth of July celebration 25 years earlier. Not only does that crime predate Jesse Stone's arrival in Paradise, but the dead girls were close friends of Jesse's right hand: Officer Molly Crane. And things become even more complicated when one of the dead girls' mothers returns to Paradise to bury her daughter and is promptly murdered. It's up to Police Chief Jesse Stone to pull away the veil of the past to see how all the murders are connected.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Coleman does a remarkable job of developing the character.... Both a fine mystery story and a satisfying portrait of an emerging character that readers will look forward to hearing more from soon.” (Associated Press)

“The Devil Wins is such a winner of a novel that Parker’s loyal fans and Coleman’s new ones will be equally delighted by his skills. This series can run forever in these new capable hands and readers will eagerly await each new book about Jesse Stone. I know I will." (The Huffington Post)

Any additional comments?

One of the things we all like about Robert Parker and his follow up writers is the interesting predictability. We know the bad guys will get caught and that between the beginning and end we will not know for sure how. We miss Robert B. Parker like crazy but thanks for keeping him alive. Love Jesse Stone and his employees/town characters in Paradise.. Oh, and then there is Dicks and Healey. Good men and women all.
