"When the body of controversial talk-show host Walton Weeks is discovered hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Paradise, police chief Jess Stone finds himself at the centre of a highly public case, forcing him to deal with small-minded local officials and national media scrutiny. When another dead body, that of a young woman, is discovered just a few days later, the pressure becomes almost unbearable." --DUST JACKET. Detective and mystery stories. The latest novel to feature Jesse Stone. When the body of a controversial talk-show host Walton Weeks is discovered hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Paradise, police chief Jesse Stone finds himself at the centre of a highly public case. Another dead body - that of a young woman - is discovered just a few days later. No one seems to care - not a single one of Week's ex-wives, nor the family of the girl. And when the medical examiner reveals a heartbreaking link between the two departed souls, the mystery only deepens.
