Description

Praise for Robert B. Parker “Not for nothing is Parker regarded as the reigning champion of the American tough-guy detective novel, heavyweight division.” —Entertainment Weekly For the Jesse Stone novels “If Spencer is the invincible knight, the timeless hero of American detective fiction, then Jesse Stone is the flawed hero of the moment.”— The New York Times Book Review And for Michael Brandman “[Brandman] is just the writer to carry Jesse into the future. No one understands what makes Bob Parker’s Jesse Stone tick better than Michael Brandman.”—Tom Selleck, star of the Jesse Stone TV movies"Part of a grand tradition..."— USA Today “I would personally like to thank Robert B. Parker for creating an admirable character like Jesse Stone and Michael Brandman for continuing his adventures and helping to keep Parker’s memory very much alive.”—BookReporter.com“Will help meet insatiable demand for all things Parker.”— Library Journal “Brandman nails Parker’s compressionist prose.”— Booklist "Brandman perfectly reproduces Parker’s style in [an] impressive continuation of his series featuring Jesse Stone."— Publishers Weekly Robert B. Parker was the author of seventy books, including the legendary Spenser detective series, the novels featuring Chief Jesse Stone, and the acclaimed Virgil Cole/Everett Hitch westerns, as well as the Sunny Randall novels. Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award and long considered the undisputed dean of American crime fiction, he died in January 2010. Michael Brandman , the award-winning producer of more than thirty motion pictures, collaborated with Robert B. Parker for years on movie projects, the Spenser TV movies, and the Jesse Stone series of TV movies starring Tom Selleck. Brandman co-wrote the screenplays for Stone Cold , No Remorse , Innocents Lost , and Benefit of the Doubt , and supervised the screenplay adaptations of Night Passage , Death in Paradise , and Sea Change . He and Selleck were executive producers of the entire series. Brandman lives in California.

No, No, No, and... No.

This was horribly disappointing. The plot was flat and predictable. Much of the book made no sense and the character of Stone failed to use logic in his investigation. I'd say the ending was predictable, but I never thought it would be that bad. Avoid this book.
