Stranger in Paradise

by Robert B Parker

Another Jesse Stone book, entertaining as usual. A bad guy from a previous novel returns but Jesse can't get any of his victims to admit to any wrongdoing so all his team can do is just tail him around town. They lose Crow quite a few times and coincidentally other unsavory people die, but when a young girls life is in danger, surprisingly he spares her and hands her over to Jesse. Jesse's life is already being complicated by some upper class protesters involving him in a land dispute and a visit once again from his ex-wife Jenn. Adding the 14 year old Amber and the mob and gang members that follow her into his life, its another eventful period for the always humorous and always no nonsense, Jesse Stone.
