Good entry in the Jesse Stone series by Parker. Parker's Stone series are one of my favorites. I also enjoy the TV movies based on the Stone character starring Tom Selleck. The last book I read in this series was a little bit of a let down for me (High Profile) but with Stranger in Paradise, Parker is back on track. In this one, ex-con Wilson "Crow" Cromartie returns to Paradise 10 years after he eluded police and made off with a few million. Crow, who claims to be Apache, is searching for someone in the Paradise area at the behest of a Florida mobster named Louis Francisco. It turns out Crow is ordered to kill the mobster's ex-wife and to bring his 14-year old daughter, Amber, to him in Florida. But Crow has a thing about hurting women so does not comply with his contract. Stone ends up using Crow as an ally to help make Amber safe and get her away from a Latino gang.

Overall, this was an enjoyable entry in the Stone series and I'm looking forward to reading others in the series that I have missed.
