The stellar new novel in Robert B. Parker's New York
Times bestselling series featuring Paradise police chief
Jesse Stone.
Jesse Stone, still reeling from the murder of his fiancée by
crazed assassin Mr. Peepers, must keep his emotions in check
long enough to get through the wedding day of his loyal
protégé, Suitcase Simpson. The morning of the wedding, Jesse
learns that a gala 75th birthday party is to be held for
folk singer Terry Jester. Jester, once the equal of Bob
Dylan, has spent the last forty years in seclusion after the
mysterious disappearance of the master recording tape of his
magnum opus, The Hangman's Sonnet.
That same morning, an elderly Paradise woman dies while her
house is being ransacked. What are the thieves looking for?
And what's the connection to Terry Jester and the mysterious
missing tape? Jesse's investigation is hampered by hostile
politicians and a growing trail of blood and bodies, forcing
him to solicit the help of mobster Vinnie Morris and a
certain Boston area PI named Spenser. While the town fathers
pressure him to avoid a PR nightmare, Jesse must connect the
cases before the bodies pile up further.
