Night Passage by Robert B Parker

Night Passage by Robert B Parker

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 Stone's future looks bleak. He is shocked, however, when a small Massachusetts town called Paradise hires him as their police chief. Once on board he 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. He finds he must test his mettle and powers of command to emerge a local hero - or the deadest of dupes.

A novel as fresh as it is bold..Parker's sentences flow with as much wit, grace and assurance as ever, and Stone is a complex and consistently interesting new protagonist * Newsday *
The spare style of Parker's third-person narrative cleans the air -- Marilyn Stasio * New York Times *
as richly novelistic as anything Parker has ever written ...light, shade, texture, and complexity -- Richard Dyer * The Boston Globe *
