About this listen

The brilliant new novel in Robert B. Parker's New York Times best-selling series featuring police chief Jesse Stone.

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 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?

Critic reviews

“His best to date.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Coleman isn’t afraid to alter the status quo in his taut third continuation of Parker’s series featuring small-town police chief Jesse Stone...a complex cat and mouse game that will keep readers turning pages.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Coleman, a three-time Shamus winner, crafts a suspenseful, clever thriller that moves at breakneck speed.” (Booklist)

Best damn book I ever listened to

If this is the worst book Parker ever wrote...then everything else ever written by every writer born pales in comparison and will never come close.

Tony's review

I found this book very good, interesting story. The narrator is kind of boring though. His reading is kind of dry. You need to get someone else to read, someone like Michael Prichard or Scott Brick.

Not my favorite

I always hear “Audible hope you enjoyed this...”. I didn’t. Jesse Stone has always been a tortured character. This ending was just too sad.

Enjoyable Read

James Naughton contributed much to my enjoyment of this story. Not to spoil the read for others but I did not like Farrel Coleman's ending. So, I'll rewrite it in my imagination.

No long term happiness ever for Jesse!

Finally, Jesse is able to move on and leave Jen in the past and maybe have some much needed happiness of his own. Of course not!! Now Jesse will drink his way through 5-6 books!!!! Bring Sunny Randall back into his life!!! #TorturedHero, #TearJerker, #Dark, #tagsgiving, #sweepstakes

The Debt is Settled

One of my favorite books in the series thus far, the author gives a glimpses of our favorite characters that we hadn't seen before. My personal belief is, the better the bad guy, the better the story, Mr Peepers delivers!
