ROBERT B. PARKER'S FALLOUT by Mike Lupica

Due to be published September 6, Robert B. Parker's Fallout, Lupica's third Jesse Stone continuation, is driven by the discovery of Paradise High School baseball star Jack Carlisle dead at the bottom of a bluff.

Jesse had mentored Jack at shortstop. Jack's loss hits his uncle, Luther "Suitcase" Simpson, particularly hard. As Jesse, Suit, and Molly Crane investigate, though, the team closes ranks.

Meanwhile, Jesse must also puzzle out the suspicious death of retired Paradise Police Chief Charlie Farrell, who had been looking into cryptocurrency scams of the elderly.

The two cases let Lupica dip into timeless themes around Robert B. Parker's favorite sport and keep Stone and company current. Thanks again to Putnam Books for the NetGalley.
