Robert B. Parker's Colorblind

Zusatztext Praise for Robert B. Parker’s Colorblind “Superior...Coleman makes the impact of these events on individuals palpable, giving this nuanced entry more emotional weight.” — Publishers Weekly “ Colorblind represents a further advance in Coleman’s effort to make this series his own...The result is another well-written, fast-paced yarn from one of the acknowledged masters of crime fiction.” —Associated Press Praise for the Robert B. Parker novels by Reed Farrel Coleman “Coleman’s fourth Jesse Stone novel is easily his best. It features a clever plot and finds Jesse confronting some very real inner demons. Best of all, it brings together three of Robert B. Parker's much-loved characters. Must reading for Parker devotees.” — Booklist (starred review) “Coleman deftly captures the nuances of this character....[He] skillfully keeps Stone on the track that Parker set, while also adding his own touches to the character and the story.” — Oline Cogdill for SouthFlorida.com Informationen zum Autor Reed Farrel Coleman Klappentext Police chief Jesse Stone tackles a disturbing case that hits right at the heart of the Paradise police force. Jesse Stone is back on the job after a stint in rehab, and the road to recovery is immediately made bumpy by a series of disturbing and apparently racially motivated crimes, beginning with the murder of an African American woman. Then, Jesse's own deputy Alisha--the first black woman hired by the Paradise police force--becomes the target of a sophisticated frame-up. As he and his team work tirelessly to unravel the truth, he has to wonder if this is just one part of an even grander plot, one with an end game more destructive than any of them can imagine. At the same time, a mysterious young man named Cole Slayton rolls into town with a chip on his shoulder and a problem with authority--namely, Jesse. Yet, something about the angry twenty-something appeals to Jesse, and he takes Cole under his wing. But there's more to him than meets the eye, and his secrets might change Jesse's life forever.1 She thought she might pass out from the ache in her side or that her heart might explode in her chest as she ran barefoot along the dunes.

It covered her dark black skin and soaked through her sports bra, panties, and torn warm-up pants. As her wind returned to her and the stitch in her side subsided, she felt the burn of her sweat seeping into the nicks and cuts around her ankles caused by the brambles and sharp dune grasses. Her jaw was throbbing from where one of them had smashed his fist into her face. And as she pressed her fingers to the swelling, the absurdity of the situation rushed back in like the waves on the beach below. This can't be happening to me. Things like this happen to other women. She reached into her pocket to feel for the cell phone that she knew wasn't there, the image of it on top of the nightstand as clear to her as if she were back in the room at the bed-and-breakfast. Her skin was suddenly gooseflesh, her perspiration turning cold with fear, and she wished she'd listened to Steve and taken her phone, wished she'd been able to hang on to her Harvard hoodie. ...
