There is a level of narrative tension--and plain polished professionalism--below which Parker is incapable of descending. High Profile will repay a quick read with...the wit, suspense, and psychological sophistication readers who know Parker's work happily associate with him."-- The Boston Globe "It's easy to overlook how fine the writing is because Parker's style rarely calls attention to itself, going down so easy that you can forget you are reading. His books are not so much read as inhaled."--Associated Press "Parker's most complex, ambitious novel in years. Great reading from an old hand who hasn't lost his touch."-- Booklist (starred review) "Robert B. Parker's books...are always delightful page turners. High Profile is no exception."-- Tampa Tribune (Florida) "The [Jesse Stone] series deserves its own praise. Highly recommended."-- Library Journal, "The Jesse Stone series deserves its own praise" -- LIBRARY JOURNAL "Smooth [and] lean...charged with shock value." -BOSTON GLOBE "Spare and biting...Suspenseful and entertaining." -ASSOCIATED PRESS "Parker's most complex, ambitious novel in years." -BOOKLIST(STARRED REVIEW)

SynopsisThe murder of a notorious public figure places police chief Jesse Stone in the harsh glare of the media spotlight in this New York Times bestseller. When the body of controversial talk-show host Walton Weeks is discovered hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone finds himself at the center 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. Two victims in less than a week should provide a host of clues, but all Jesse runs into are dead ends. But what may be the most disturbing aspect of these murders is the fact that no one seems to care-not a single one of Weeks's ex-wives, not the family of the girl. And when the medical examiner reveals a heartbreaking link between the two departed souls, the mystery only deepens. Despite Weeks's reputation and the girl's tender age, Jesse is hard-pressed to find legitimate suspects. Though the crimes are perhaps the most gruesome Jesse has ever witnessed, it is the malevolence behind them that makes them all the more frightening. Forced to delve into a world of stormy relationships, Jesse soon comes to realize that knowing whom he can trust is indeed a matter of life and death., The murder of a controversial talk show host puts Jesse Stone in the harsh glare of the media spotlight. After the body of a young woman is discovered a few days later, the medical examiner reveals a heartbreaking link between the two victims. Available in a tall Premium Edition., Stone investigates a shocking double murder-that of a controversial radio talk-show host and his pregnant mistress.
