Police Chief Jesse Stone faces his most fearsome
adversary in the latest addition to the celebrated
series.
The last time Jesse Stone, chief of
police of Paradise, Massachusetts, saw Wilson "Crow"
Cromartie, the Apache Indian hit man was racing away in a
speedboat after executing one of the most lucrative and
deadly heists in the town's history. Crow was part of a team
of ex-cons who plotted to capture Stiles Island, the wealthy
enclave off the Paradise coast, by blowing up the connecting
bridge. Residents were kidnapped, some were killed, and Crow
managed to escape with a boatload of cash, never to be seen
again. Until now.
So when Crow shows up in
Jesse's office some ten years after the crime, it's not to
turn himself in. Crow is on another job, and this time he's
asking for Jesse's help-by asking him to stay out of his
way.
Crow's mission is simple: find young Amber
Francisco and bring her back to her father, Louis, in
Florida. It should be an easy payday for a pro like Crow,
but there are complications. Amber, now living in squalor
with her mother, Fiona, is mixed up with members of a Latino
gang. And when Louis orders Crow to kill Fiona before
heading back with Amber, he can't follow through. Crow may
be a bad guy, but he doesn't kill women. It's up to Jesse to
provide protection.
Meanwhile, Jesse's on-again,
off-again relationship with ex-wife Jenn picks up steam as
Jenn investigates the gang problem for her TV station. As
they dig deeper, the danger escalates. The life of a young
girl hangs in the balance, and saving Amber could be the
miracle Jesse and Jenn need for themselves, too.
