Jesse Stone is an ex LA cop who has taken the job of police chief in Paradise, Massachusetts and things are getting strange in Paradise. Stone is called to the junior high school when reports of lewd conduct by the school's principal, Betsy Ingersoll, filter into the station. Ingersoll claims she was protecting the propriety of her students when she inspected each girl's undergarments in the locker room. Jesse would like nothing more than to see Ingersoll punished, but her high-powered attorney husband stands in the way. At the same time, the women of Paradise are faced with a threat to their sense of security with the emergence of a tormented voyeur, dubbed "The Night Hawk." Initially, he's content to peer through windows, but as times goes on, he becomes more reckless, forcing his victims to strip at gunpoint...And according to the notes he's sending to Jesse, he's not satisfied to stop there. It's up to Jesse to catch the Night Hawk, before it's too late.

Review:
If Spencer is the invincible knight, the timeless hero of American detective fiction, then Jess Stone is the flawed hero of the moment, a man whose deficiencies define his humanity - New York Times Book Review. (New York Times)
From the Back Cover:
Police Chief Jesse Stone is trying not to think about things. Like how much he's drinking these days. Or how his ex-wife has gone to live in New York with another man.
Meanwhile there's trouble in the town of Paradise. The local school principal has been accused of mistreating her female charges and Jesse, never one to shirk a fight, has decided she needs to be taken down a notch. Worse, a tormented voyeur, the self-styled Night Hawk, has been spying on women through their windows. The disturbed individual's growing obsession suggests that it is only a matter of time before he goes beyond simply looking.
What Jesse uncovers will reveal a dark heart to Paradise.
