Robert B. Parker's The Hangman's Sonnet (Jesse Stone, #16)

Reed Farrel Coleman
4.08/5 (4524 ratings)
Here's a stellar novel in Robert B. Parker's 'New York Times' bestselling series featuring Paradise police chief Jesse Stone.

Stone, still reeling from the murder of his fiancée by crazed assassin Mr. Peepers, must keep his emotions in check long enough to get through the wedding day of his loyal protégé, Suitcase Simpson. The morning of the wedding, Jesse learns that a gala 75th birthday party will be held in Paradise for folk singer Terry Jester. Jester, once the equal of Bob Dylan, has spent the last forty years in seclusion after the mysterious disappearance of the master recording tape of his magnum opus, 'The Hangman's Sonnet.'

That same morning, an elderly Paradise woman dies while her house is being ransacked. What are the thieves looking for? And what's the connection to Terry Jester and the missing tape? Jesse's investigation is hampered by hostile politicians and a growing trail of blood and bodies, forcing him to solicit the help of mobster Vinnie Morris and a certain Boston area PI named Spenser! While the town fathers pressure him to avoid a PR nightmare, Jesse must connect the cases before even more bodies get added to the pile.
