Jesse Stone is an ex-LA cop who has taken the job of police chief in Paradise, Massachusetts. His drinking and the damaged relationship with his wife define him as much as his supreme skill at policing his patch. When Crow, an Apache hitman, turns up in Jesse Stone’s office, he is intrigued and on his guard. Ten years before, Crow was part of a gang that had taken a woman in the town hostage when a bank raid went wrong. The hostages were released unharmed, but he also got away with enough money not to have to work again. So why is Crow back in town?
