Jesse Stone, the police chief of Paradise MA uses a Leatherman to deflate airbags after an auto accident in "Fool Me Twice". Jess Stone, a transplanted LA police officer, is a character developed Robert B. Parker. Jesse Stone solves the airbag problem, then goes on to counsel and assist the spoiled rich high school girl who caused the accident by texting while driving.
The Jesse Stone series, developed by the same author who created the private detective Spenser, is apparently being continued after Robert B. Parker's death. "Fool Me Twice" lists Michael Brandman as the author. At least he gives Chief Stone a useful tool for police duties.
