Robert B. Parker's Fool's Paradise
When an unknown man is found murdered in Paradise, Jesse Stone will have his hands full finding out who he was--and what he was seeking.
When a body is discovered at the lake in Paradise, Police Chief Jesse Stone is surprised to find he recognizes the murder victim--the man had been at the same AA meeting as Jesse the evening before. But otherwise, Jesse has no clue as to the man's identity. He isn't a local, nor does he have ID on him, nor does any neighboring state have a reported missing person matching his description. Their single lead is from a taxi company that recalls dropping off the mysterious stranger outside the gate at the mansion of one of the wealthiest families in town. . . . Meanwhile, after Jesse survives a hail of gunfire on his home, he wonders if it could be related to the murder. When both Molly Crane and Suitcase Simpson also become targets, it's clear someone has an ax to grind against the entire Paradise PD.

Mike Lupica
For Mike Lupica, storytelling has always been about more than just who wins the game — it's about the grit, the heartbreak, and the small triumphs that happen when no one's looking. Whether chronicling the fierce dreams of young athletes in Travel Team and Heat or stepping into the sharp-edged world of crime fiction with the Robert B. Parker continuations, Lupica writes with a heart that beats just as hard as his characters’.
Growing up in Oneida, New York, and later making his mark in the newsrooms of Boston and New York City, Lupica sharpened his voice as a sports journalist long before he became one of America’s bestselling novelists. His columns for the New York Daily News weren’t just about scores; they captured the spirit of cities, teams, and the people who believed in them. That same pulse of authenticity runs through his fiction, giving even the quietest moments an unmistakable weight.
