Publisher Description

Police chief Jesse Stone has received his share of unusual calls, but none can top the one from the local junior high school. When reports of lewd conduct by the school’s principal, Betsy Ingersoll, filter into the station, Jesse is faced with a particularly delicate situation. Jesse, of course, would like nothing more than to see the prim, peculiar Ingersoll punished. But Betsy Ingersoll is married to the managing partner of the biggest law firm in the state, and Jay Ingersoll wants the matter buried. And he is used to getting what he wants. At the same time, the women of Paradise are being threatened by a tormented voyeur, dubbed “The Night Hawk,” who’s been scouring suburban neighborhoods as evening falls. Initially he’s content to simply peer through windows, but as pressure builds, he becomes more reckless, entering homes, forcing his victims to strip at gunpoint, then photographing them at their most vulnerable. And according to the notes he’s sending, he’s not satisfied to stop there. It’s up to Jesse to catch the Night Hawk, before it’s too late.

"This one is a Jesse Stone novel but with the same smart and crisp dialogue Parker is known for in the Spenser series. Sunny Randall (a 3rd PI series by Parker) makes an appearance, along with Susan Silverman, Spenser's love interest. It has a psychoanlaysis element, just like most Spenser novels. Good quick read - can't go wrong with a Parker PI novel."

    " Robert Parker is such an ace at writing clipped and concise dialog. I just love it. This is my first Jesse Stone adventure. There's a peeping tom in Paradise and a middle school principal that is a little too interested in what kind of underwear her school girls are wearing. The audio book was wonderful to listen to with just the right eastern accents. "

    " I am really sorry that Robert Parker will not be writing any more books. The Jesse Stone series were light reading, and the characters sometimes were cross pollinated from other RBP books so that they felt like old friends. His wit is always refreshing and generally gentle. "
