Staff Recommendation - Night Passage

Night Passage

by Robert B. Parker

Jesse Stone is a drunk and has been asked to leave the L.A. Police Dept. He accepts the job of police chief in the small town of Paradise only to find that he was selected because of his background with alcohol. The city fathers develop a grudging respect when they find that they can't push him around during a murder investigation. Jesse turns out to be a character the reader will empathize with as he works his way through this new series by Parker. A great read. -- recommended by Rayma S. - South Branch Library
