In the wake of a huge storm, three bodies are discovered in the rubble of an abandoned factory in an industrial part of Paradise known as The Swap. One body, a man’s, wrapped in a blue tarp, is only hours old. But within feet of that body are the skeletal remains of two teenage girls who disappeared during a Fourth of July celebration 25 years earlier. Not only does that crime predate Jesse Stone’s arrival in Paradise, but the dead girls were close friends of Officer Molly Crane.And things become even more complicated when one dead girl’s mother, in Paradise to bury her daughter, is promptly murdered. It’s up to police chief Jesse Stone to pull away the veil of the past to see how all the murders are connected.
