Family ties prove deadly in this brilliant Jesse Stone novel from New York Times bestselling author Robert B. Parker. The body in the trunk was just the beginning. Turns out the stiff was a foot soldier for local tough guy Reggie Galen, now enjoying a comfortable “retirement” with his beautiful wife, Rebecca, in the nicest part of Paradise. Living next door are Knocko Moynihan and his wife, … door are Knocko Moynihan and his wife, Robbie, who also happens to be Rebecca’s twin. But what initially appears to be a low-level mob hit takes on new meaning when a high-ranking crime figure is found dead on Paradise Beach.
Stressed by the case, his failed relationship with his ex-wife, and his ongoing battle with the bottle, Jesse needs something to keep him from spinning out of control. When private investigator Sunny Randall comes into town on a case, she asks for Jesse’s help. As their professional and personal relationships become intertwined, both Jesse and Sunny realize that they have much in common with both their victims and their suspects—and with each other.

I have read all of the Parker books and thoroughly enjoyed this one as well. I know Selic id busy, but I really would like some more Jesse Stone TV movies.
Parker is one of the best. I love all his books!!
Love the Jesse stone series. Wonderful warm characters.
A good tale about the sheriff of paradise….
Not up to Parker standards. Never ending paragraphs about drinking issues. The twins sound like something from a 60’s beach movie.
I loved all his books and read some twice
