Night Passage (Jesse Stone Novels Book 1) --> Jesse Stone: Night Passage

In the first novel of the beloved mystery series by Robert B. Parker, readers are introduced to police chief Jesse Stone—a New York Times bestseller. After his failed marriage worsens his drinking problem and he is abruptly let go by the LAPD, thirty-five-year-old Jesse Stone's future looks bleak. However, he is surprised when the small town of Paradise in Massachusetts offers him the position of police chief. Jesse wonders if this job is a genuine opportunity for a fresh start, one that he can’t turn down. Upon joining the force in Paradise, trouble finds Jesse without him having to search for it. This seemingly quiet New England community quickly reveals itself to be a hotbed of political and moral corruption, with a triple homicide, strong ties to the Boston mob, scandalous affairs, unhinged militia members, and a dangerous psychopath targeting the new police chief. With no one to rely on, not even the woman he is dating, Jesse must prove himself and demonstrate his leadership skills to become a local hero—or risk becoming a victim of deception.
