Robert B Parker

A Jesse Stone Novel
When a woman's partially decomposed body washes ashore in Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone is forced into a case far more difficult than it at first appears.
Identifying the woman is just the first step in what proves to be a difficult and emotionally charged investigation.
Florence Horvath was an attractive, recently divorced heiress from Florida; she also had a penchant for steamy sex and was an enthusiastic participant in a video depicting the same.
Somehow the combination of her past and present got her killed, but no one is talking - not the crew of the Lady Jane, the Fort Lauderdale yacht moored in Paradise harbour; nor her very blonde, very tanned twin sisters, Corliss and Claudia; and not her curiously affectless parents, living out a sterile retirement in a Miami high rise.
But someone - Jesse - has to speak for the dead, even if it puts him in harm's way.
'If Spenser is the invincible knight, the timeless hero of American detective fiction, then Jesse Stone is the flawed hero of the moment, a man whose deficiencies define his humanity...you want to cheer'New York Times

A Jesse Stone Mystery

Sea Change: A Jesse Stone novel

Michael Brandman

A Jesse Stone Mystery
The woman on the bed was barely out of her teens. She wasn't exactly beautiful, but she'd tried to make the most of her looks. Now, defiled and alone in a seedy beachfront motel, she was dead. And Paradise Police Chief Jesse Stone doesn't know her name.
Whoever she is, she didn't deserve to die. State police captain Healy's resources turn up nothing helpful, and Gino Fish, who knows his way around dark places, is characteristically uncooperative.
Unwilling to take no for an answer, Jesse continues digging his own way, only to find himself caught in the crosshairs of a bitter turf war between two ruthless pimps, Thomas Walker and Fat Boy Nelly, and a beautiful woman to whom they both lay claim. Jesse tries for a diplomatic solution, but more blood will be spilt before it's over.

Robert B. Parker's Damned if You Do

Reed Farrel Coleman

Police Chief Jesse Stone is back in the remarkable new installment of the New York Times-bestselling series.
It's been a long time since Jesse Stone left LA, and longer still since the tragic injury that denied him a Major League Baseball career. When Jesse is invited to a reunion of his old Triple-A team at a hip NYC hotel, he is forced to grapple with his regrets over what might have been.
Jesse left more behind him than bitterness about the play that ended his career. The darkly sensuous Kayla, his ex-girlfriend and current wife of an old teammate is in New York, too. As is Kayla's friend, Dee, an enchantress with secret regrets of her own. But Jesse's time at the reunion is cut short when, in Paradise, a young woman is murdered and her boyfriend, a son of one of the town's leading families, is missing, presumed kidnapped.
Though seemingly coincidental, the reunion and the crimes in Paradise appear connected. As Jesse hunts for the killer and for the missing son, it becomes clear that one of his old teammates is intimately involved in the crimes. That there are deadly forces working below the surface and beyond the edge of their vision. Sometimes, that's where danger comes from, and where real evil lurks. Not out in the light - but in your blind spot.

When a body is discovered at the lake in Paradise, Police Chief Jesse Stone is surprised to find he recognizes the murder victim - the man had been at the same AA meeting as Jesse the evening before. But otherwise, Jesse has no clue as to the man's identity. He isn't a local, nor does he have ID on him, nor does any neighboring state have a reported missing person matching the man's description. Their single lead is from a taxi company that recalls dropping off the mysterious stranger outside the gate at the mansion of one of the wealthiest families in town...
Meanwhile, after Jesse survives a hail of gunfire on his home, he wonders if it could be related to the mysterious murder. When both Molly Crane and Suitcase Simpson also become targets, it's clear someone has an axe to grind against the entire Paradise Police Department.

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 twenty-five 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.
