Parker's: Stone's Throw(20) / Mike Lupica. Stone's Throw. New York : G.P. Putnam's Sons, [2021] ©2021. 322 pages ; 24 cm. Jesse Stone ; 20 Sequel to: Robert B. Parker's Fool's paradise. Based on characters created by Robert B. Parker. "Paradise is rocked by the mayor's untimely death in the latest novel starring police chief Jesse Stone"-- Provided by publisher. The town of Paradise receives a tragic shock when the mayor is discovered dead, his body lying in a shallow grave on a property on the lake. It's ostensibly suicide, but Jesse's has his doubts... especially because the piece of land where the man was found is the subject of a contentious and dodgy land deal. Two powerful moguls are fighting over the right to buy and develop the prime piece of real estate, and one of them has brought in a hired gun, an old adversary of Jesse's: Wilson Cromartie, aka Crow. Meanwhile, the town council is debating if they want to sacrifice Paradise's stately character for the economic boost of a glitzy new development. Tempers are running hot, and as the deaths begin to mount, it's increasingly clear that the mayor may have been standing in the wrong person's way. 20230228.
