Robert B. Parker's Stone's Throw

The town of Paradise receives a tragic shock when the mayor is discovered dead, his body lying in an open grave on a property on the lake. It''s ostensibly suicide, but Jesse has his doubts... especially because the piece of land where the man was found is the subject of a contentious and dodgy land deal.Two powerful moguls are fighting over the right to buy and develop the prime piece of real estate, and one of them has brought in a hired gun, an old adversary of Jesse''s: Wilson Cromartie, aka Crow. Meanwhile, the town council is debating if they want to sacrifice Paradise''s stately character for the economic boost of a glitzy new development.Tempers are running hot, and as the deaths begin to mount, it''s increasingly clear that the mayor may have standing in the wrong person''s way.
