a jesse stone novel - 1st in the series and very good - its about a LA homicide detective who after the break up of his marriage becomes an alcholic and gets fired - he is interviewed and accepted for a job in a very small town in massachusetts as a police chief - he wonders why they would hire someone who was drunk on the interview - he realizes that all is not as it seems - lots of small town secrets that are known to everyone but no one is willing to share - the town council figures that since he is a drunk he will be maleable to hiding or unwilling to investigate - the secrets and the criminals are threatening to explode as jesse investigates - very fast paced an easy read - in some ways better than the later spenser novels
