Description
Jesse Stone is an ex LA cop who has taken the job of police chief in Paradise, Massachusetts. His drinking and his damaged relationship with his wife define him as much as his supreme skill at policing his patch. When Crow, an Apache hitman, turns up in Jesse's office, he is intrigued and very much on his guard. Ten years earlier, Crow was part of a gang that had taken a woman hostage during a bank raid gone wrong. The hostages were released unharmed, thanks to Crow's moral code, but he also got away with enough money not to have to work again. Now, Crow has returned to town and is involved in a kidnapping case, leaving Jesse to unravel the complex web of events. As things start to go badly wrong in Paradise, Jesse must find answers to Crow's motives and the reasons behind his actions. A gripping mystery unfolds as Jesse navigates the dark underbelly of his community, where nothing is as it seems.
