Parker writes old-time, stripped-to-the-bone, hard-boiled: school of Chandler...His novels are funny, smart and highly entertaining...There's no writer I'd rather take on an aeroplane

- Sam Leith, Daily Telegraph

...timing and pace are all. Parker knows what he's about, and Sea Change is a cracker

- Sam Leith, Daily Telegraph

In Sea Change glorious harbor scenes of sailboats and yachts gathered for Race Week are tarnished by the ugly crimes Jesse is investigating - the statutory rapes of local girls lured aboard the yachts by dirty old men from Florida and the murder of a woman involved in procuring the victims

- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times

If Spenser is the invincible knight, the timeless hero of American detective fiction, then Jesse Stone is the flawed hero of the moment, a man whose deficiencies define his humanity...you want to cheer

New York Times Book Review

Stone is a work in progress whose following is likely to increase as he continues to grow

Publishers Weekly

When a woman's partially decomposed body washes ashore in Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone is forced into a case far more difficult than it at first appears. Identifying the woman is just the first step in what proves to be a difficult and emotionally charged investigation. Florence Horvath was an attractive, recently divorced heiress from Florida; she also had a penchant for steamy sex and was an enthusiastic participant in a video depicting the same. Somehow the combination of her past and present got her killed, but no one is talking - not the crew of the Lady Jane, the Fort Lauderdale yacht moored in Paradise harbour; nor her very blonde, very tanned twin sisters, Corliss and Claudia; and not her curiously affectless parents, living out a sterile retirement in a Miami high rise.

But someone - Jesse - has to speak for the dead, even if it puts him in harm's way.
