After a busted marriage kicks his drinking problem into overdrive and the LAPD unceremoniously dumps him, the thirty-five-year-old Jesse Stone's future looks bleak. So he's shocked when a little Massachusetts town called Paradise recruits him as police chief. He can't help wondering if this job is a genuine chance to get started on over, the sort of offer he can't refuse.
Once on board, Jesse does not have to consider trouble in Paradise: it comes to him. For what's on the surface a quiet New England community quickly proves to be always 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 have fixed his violent sights on the new lawman. Against all of this, Jesse stands utterly alone, with no person to trust; even he and the girl he's seeing are like ships that pass in the night time. He finds he must test his mettle and powers of command to emerge an area hero—or the deadest of dupes.
As the flagship volume in a fresh series having a complex and engaging sleuth, Night Passage is cause for celebration.
