In the quiet town of Paradise, Massachusetts, the case lands on the desk of Jesse Stone, the town’s chief of police, when a teenage girl is found dead in a lake. The first tangible clue comes from a high school ring marked with the initials HR, unearthed by the steady, soft-spoken hands of Luther “Suitcase” Simpson.
