A Nor'easter blows into Paradise and churns up the past in this
stunning new addition to Robert B. Parker's New York Times-bestselling
series featuring police chief Jesse Stone.
In the wake of a huge storm, three bodies are discovered in the rubble
of an abandoned factory building in an industrial part of Paradise known
as The Swap. One body, a man's, wrapped in a blue tarp, is only hours
old. But found within feet of that body are the skeletal remains of two
teenage girls who had gone missing during a Fourth of July celebration
twenty-five years earlier. Not only does that crime predate Jesse
Stone's arrival in Paradise, but the dead girls were close friends of
Jesse's right hand, Officer Molly Crane. And things become even more
complicated when one of the dead girls' mothers returns to Paradise to
bury her daughter and is promptly murdered. It's up to police chief
Jesse Stone to pull away the veil of the past to see how all these
murders are connected . . .
