When an unknown man is found murdered in Paradise Jesse Stone will have his hands full finding
out who he was--and what he was seeking. When a body is discovered at the lake in Paradise
Police Chief Jesse Stone is surprised to find he recognizes the murder victim--the man had been
at the same AA meeting as Jesse the evening before. But otherwise Jesse has no clue as to the
man's identity. He isn't a local nor does he have ID on him nor does any neighboring state
have a reported missing person matching his description. Their single lead is from a taxi
company that recalls dropping off the mysterious stranger outside the gate at the mansion of
one of the wealthiest families in town. . . . Meanwhile after Jesse survives a hail of gunfire
on his home he wonders if it could be related to the murder. When both Molly Crane and
Suitcase Simpson also become targets it's clear someone has an ax to grind against the entire
Paradise PD.
