Sea Change
Robert B. Parker
(Author)
Description
Police chief Jesse Stone faces the case of his career in this thrilling novel in the New York Times bestselling series. When a woman's partially decomposed body washes ashore in Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone is forced into a case far more difficult than it initially appears. Identifying the woman is just the first step in what proves to be an emotionally charged investigation. Florence Horvath was an attractive, recently divorced heiress from Florida; she also had a penchant for steamy sex and was an enthusiastic participant in a video depicting the same. Somehow the combination of her past and present got her killed, but no one is talking--not the crew of the Lady Jane, the Fort Lauderdale yacht moored in Paradise Harbor; not her very blond, very tan twin sisters, Corliss and Claudia; and not her curiously affectless parents, living out a sterile retirement in a Miami high rise. But someone--Jesse--has to speak for the dead, even if it puts him in harm's way.Product Details

Reviews
Praise for Sea Change "A fast-paced fascinating mystery."--The Providence Journal "The complicated, all-too-human Jesse Stone [is] every bit as compelling, charismatic and resolute as [the] better-known, valiant Spenser."--The Boston Herald "Crackles with wisecracks."--Forbes "Parker is dead-on here...the story swirls from whodunit into an absorbing whydunit."--Booklist "Strong enough to rank near [Parker's] best."--Kirkus Reviews "Worthy of the late John D. MacDonald."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
