In this brilliant novel in Robert B. Parker’s New York Times bestselling series, police chief Jesse Stone faces a ruthless hit man.All is quiet in Paradise, except for a spate of innocuous vandalism. Good thing, too, because Jesse Stone is preoccupied with the women in his life, both past and present. As his ex-wife Jenn is about to marry a Dallas real-estate tycoon, Jesse isn’t too sure his … Jesse isn’t too sure his relationship with former FBI agent Diana Evans is built to last. But those concerns get put on the back burner when a major Boston crime boss is brutally murdered. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Jesse suspects it’s the work of Mr. Peepers, a psychotic assassin who has caused trouble for Jesse in the past.
Peepers has long promised revenge against the mob, Jesse, and Suit for their roles in foiling one of his hits—and against Jenn as well. And though Jesse and Jenn have long parted ways, Jesse still feels responsible for her safety. Jesse and Diana head to Dallas for the wedding and, along with the tycoon’s security team, try to stop Peepers before the bill comes due. With Peepers toying with the authorities as to when and where he’ll strike, Jesse is up against the wall. Still, there’s a debt to pay and blood to be spilled to satisfy it. But whose blood, and just how much?

I have read this one twice. I enjoy all the Jesse Stone Books. Wish they would make more movies.
Just not like the “real” Spenser novels.
Coleman continues Robert Parker’s series in a seamless manner. Spare writing, no hyperbole-end-of=the -world= a kind of timeless quality.
A good yarn in the Parker tradition
FIt wasn’t Robert B. Parker, but it was still a pretty close rendition.
Classic Parker
I have read other authors’ books featuring Parker’s characters. They did a good job of maintaining Parker’s style. This one did not.
A usual Jesse Stone book. But it was good. Will continue to buy his books as long as they are published. I have not read some on the middle books, but will catch up on them soon.
Worst Jessie Stone book I ever read. Not worth publishing.
Enjoyed the characters and the flow.
Jesse Stone never fails to entertain
love this author
A decent quality Jesse Stone story.
I enjoy everything he’s written, including this. A great cop story.
Great follow up to the master of suspense, RBP
All of Parker’s books are a good read
I love all Jesse Stone books but it’s better to read them in order. Easy to read and very enjoyable.
Very entertaining
Another good Jesse Stone novels.
I like Parker, simple as that.
