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.
