DESCRIPTION:
William York said No Substitute For Quality. It was a bad year when three of my favorite authors passed on. No more Dortmonder from Westlake. Goodbye to Leonard's Raylan. And then there was Parker. Well, Ace Atkins did a pretty good job as a substitute with Spencer, so I was willing to give Coleman a chance with Jesse Stone. Big mistake. He has tot. Dan Fendel said a HUGE disappointment.

The dialogue is spot-on and the professional chemistry between Stone and his small force is its own reason to read the series." --"Booklist" . Praise for the Jesse Stone series "As in every Parker novel, the great attraction is the writing.
