Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Jesse Stone is an ex-LA cop who has taken the job of police chief in Paradise, Massachusetts. His drinking, his damaged relationship with his wife, define him as much as his supreme skill at policing his patch. When Crow, an Apache hit-man, turns up in Jesse Stone's office, he is intrigued and very much on his guard.

A Jesse Stone mystery.

Publishers Weekly Review

Even if Parker's series about smalltown Massachusetts police chief Jesse Stone doesn't rank as most fans' favorite dish in the bestselling author's deli, listeners should enjoy James Naughton's clean and crisp way of bringing fictional characters to life. His performance alone is worth the price of admission. He makes Stone's wisecracks understandable and pungent. By lowering his voice just a bit and giving it some rougher edges, Naughton plays ex-con/hit man Wilson "Crow" Cromartie. A mobster has hired Crow to kill his wife and kidnap his daughter, but Crow has other ideas and needs Stone to stay out of his way. Will Stone step aside or will he join up with his former foe to save the women? There's no prize for guessing correctly, but the exciting story provides a fun way to pass a few idle hours. Simultaneous release with the Putnam hardcover (Reviews, Dec. 3, 2007). (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
