When a celebrated political commentator is found murdered in Paradise, Police Chief Jesse Stone faces intense pressure to solve the high-profile case—while a second, seemingly less important death demands his attention. Meanwhile, private investigator Sunny Randall is hired by a troubled college student who suspects her parents have concealed the truth about her birth. As the investigations unfold, the cases probe questions of identity, family, privilege, and whose lives society considers worth protecting. With crisp dialogue, tightly drawn characters, and Parker’s signature blend of police procedural and relationship-driven drama, the novel offers a compelling addition to his interconnected crime series.
