High Profile is a crime novel by Robert B. Parker, the sixth in his Jesse Stone series.

After a little investigation the body is discovered to be that of libertarian national talk radio and television personality Walter Weeks.

Before long another twist is added to the crime when the body of Weeks's pregnant mistress turns up in the dumpster of a local restaurant.

As part of his investigation, Stone has Suitcase Simpson check to see if Weeks has any criminal convictions.

The only one that turns up is an incident in Baltimore in 1987 where Weeks was found having sex in his car with a young woman.

Stone also learns that Weeks had planned on divorcing Lorrie and leaving his fortune to his new mistress and unborn child.

After discovering this, Chief Stone and Suitcase Simpson head up to New York to stake out the widow's apartment.

This is interesting to Jesse because Alan was a frequent guest host, and the one writing most of the show's material by the end of Weeks's life.

With the assistance of an NYPD officer, Chief Stone interrogates Lorrie in her apartment and records the interview.

It was Jesse's revelation that Lorrie was now sleeping with Alan Hendricks and her taped accusation that leads him to do this.
