Spenser earned his degree in the school of hard knocks, so he is ready when a Boston university hires him to recover a rare, stolen manuscript. He is hardly surprised that his only clue is a radical student with four bullets in his chest. The cops are ready to throw the book at the pretty blond coed whose prints are all over the murder weapon but Spenser knows there are no easy answers. He tackles some very heavy homework and knows that if he doesn't finish his assignment soon, he could end up dead.

After a busted marriage kicks his drinking problem into overdrive and the LAPD unceremoniously dumps him, 35-year-old Jesse Stone's future looks bleak. So he's shocked when a small Massachusetts town called Paradise recruits him as police chief. He can't help wondering if this job is a genuine chance to start over, the kind of offer he can't refuse.Once on board, Jesse doesn't 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. Against all this, Jesse stands utterly alone, with no one to trust; even he and the woman he's seeing are like ships that pass in the night. He finds he must test his mettle and powers of command to emerge a local hero - or the deadest of dupes.

He's a self-described beach bum who won his houseboat in a card game. He's also a knight errant who's wary of credit cards, retirement benefits, political parties, mortgages, and television.

Publisher's Summary

They were the Sheridan men, ruled by passion, betrayed by love, heirs to a legacy of violence and forbidden desire. Gus, Boston's top homicide cop: he knew equally well the backroom politics of City Hall and the private passions of the very rich, a man haunted by the wanton courage and perilous obsessions he inherited from his father. Conn, the patriarch, a lawless cop who spawned a circle of vengeance and betrayal that would span half a century. And Chris, Gus' beloved son, a Harvard lawyer and criminologist, fated to risk everything to break the chain of obsession and rage. Three generations linked by crime and punishment - cops and heroes, fathers, sons, and lovers united at last by revelations that could bring a family to its knees...

Critic Reviews

"A thrilling game of cops-and-Brahmins. Parker is in fine form." (Kirkus Reviews)
"The old magician draws you in, absolutely! Parker has something important and touching to say about fathers and sons, about marriage and love, about courage and anomie." (New York Newsday)

touching and rare

first,please,readers,don"t be to hard on my style:I am french,and almost blind.
Amazing book and in my opinion the best of R.B.Parker;also as accurate as I could be the only one saying us a long story of love and unhapiness and feelings so profound and so intimate that they almost cannot be told.
I loved it.
I am a reader of R.B.Parker and generally I think that underniece some of his seemingly simple "detective story"there is much more to be taken;this book"all our yesterdays"show me I was right

I hated this book

There are no likable characters. What a bore. It was a waste of money.
