Více o knize

Robert B. Parker's Spenser series has long been a hallmark of detective fiction, but the debut of Jesse Stone in Night Passage showcased the potential for new narratives within Parker's literary world. Critics hailed the novel as "fresh and bold," praising Parker's signature wit and the complexity of Stone as a protagonist. Stiles Island, an exclusive enclave, becomes the target of James Macklin, who sees it as a prime investment opportunity. With plans to invade, destroy the bridge, and loot the island, Macklin enlists a crew of ex-cons, including the menacing Wilson Cromartie, known as Crow. As Macklin's dangerous scheme unfolds, Paradise Police Chief Jesse Stone grapples with his own challenges, including complicated romantic relationships. His ex-wife Jenn is in jail for assault, he is dating Stiles Island realtor Marcy Campbell, and he still has feelings for attorney Abby Taylor. When Macklin's attack threatens both Marcy and Abby, Jesse must act quickly to protect them. With its intricate plot and rich character dynamics, Trouble in Paradise exemplifies Parker's mastery of the genre.
