Trouble in Paradise

The Second Jesse Stone Mystery

Stiles Island is a wealthy and exclusive enclave separated by a bridge from the Massachusetts coastal town of Paradise.

A group of ex-cons, led by James Macklin, plan to blow the bridge and loot the island, and Paradise police chief Jesse Stone has his hands full.

Stone faces battling this group of ruthless criminals whilst simultaneously dealing with his own romantic entanglements, and trying to keep Paradise, as well as the women in his life, out of harm's way.
