Review
In the first of this new series, Night Passage, Parker introduced us to Jesse Stone, a competent LA cop with a past of hard drinking and obsession who takes a job as police chief of a small Massachusetts town to work his way past his problems, and in the process finds himself up against a criminal conspiracy who had hired him as a soft touch. In Trouble in Paradise, he has found himself a home and a reputation, but is still drinking too much, still obsessed with his ex-wife, who has taken a job as weather-girl at the local station; and he manages to make himself a whole new set of enemies by taking a tough line with some young homophobic arsonists. His troubles really start when a group of career criminals make their move on Stiles Island, the holiday community that is part of his beat; he has never met Macklin and Crow before, but he becomes the target for their need to prove themselves, and the women in his complicated emotional life become their hostages... This smooth thriller combines some fascinating how-to-do-it caper stuff with some solid police work and studies in flawed but attractive character. --Roz Kaveney
