Synopsis

Police chief Jesse Stone has received his share of unusual calls, but none can top the one from the local junior high school. When reports of lewd conduct by the school’s principal, Betsy Ingersoll, filter into the station, Jesse is faced with a particularly delicate situation. Jesse, of course, would like nothing more than to see the prim, peculiar Ingersoll punished. But Betsy Ingersoll is married to the managing partner of the biggest law firm in the state, and Jay Ingersoll wants the matter buried. And he is used to getting what he wants.

At the same time, the women of Paradise are being threatened by a tormented voyeur, dubbed “The Night Hawk,” who’s been scouring suburban neighborhoods as evening falls. Initially he’s content to simply peer through windows, but as pressure builds, he becomes more reckless, entering homes, forcing his victims to strip at gunpoint, then photographing them at their most vulnerable. And according to the notes he’s sending, he’s not satisfied to stop there. It’s up to Jesse to catch the Night Hawk, before it’s too late.

Like most of the books near the end of Parker’s life, it presumes you’ve been with him for a......more

Goodreads review by Jack on September 24, 2022

4 Stars. A primer on police procedure in cases related to sex, in Chief Jesse Stone's inimitable style. He's practical; he uses common sense, and he gets upset at the right times. A bit of a primer on the law too. None of the cases are the vicious sexual assaults which may lead to the murder of a wo......more

Voyeurism and swinging … and this story begins when Jesse Stone, the police chief Paradise, is called to a school to investigate a complaint concerning the female principal who has inspected a bunch of girls in the locker room, making them lift up their dresses to take a look at their underwear. As......more

Goodreads review by Eric_W on May 13, 2015

Robert Parker’s novels all have a cadence to them that many people find disconcerting. An almost staccato dialogue, it can be especially prominent in an audiobook such as this one in the Jesse Stone Series. I rather like it. Jesse is faced with two peculiar cases: the woman principal of the school ha......more
