Selleck plays the role of Jesse Stone, a former Los Angeles homicide detective who left California and his ex-wife to become the police chief in a small New England town. Among his many character flaws are his struggles with a drinking problem and lingering feelings for his ex-wife.

Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise Co-starring William Devane (TV’s "Knot’s Landing"), the TV movie finds Chief Stone (Selleck) settling into his new life in Paradise when he becomes obsessed with finding the killer of a teenage girl. His quest to solve the murder unearths facts indicating there is more to the girl’s history than originally suspected and the new clues lead him to probe the Boston underworld.

although this was the second "Jesse Stone" film released, in the story-line this is the 1st entry in the series, since it is the prequel to the first release, "Stone Cold".

this installment shows the viewer how Stone became police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts. Formerly, he was a homicide detective working for the L.A.P.D. He was kicked off that job due to his alcoholism, drinking on the job. He is estranged from his wife.

A new chapter in his life opens when he gets a chance to interview for the now open position of police chief in Paradise, Massachusetts, a small fishing village.

To his surprise, he gets the job. A few days later, he learns that the former police chief has recently died, of an apparent suicide. The case seems to be "open and shut", but Stone has his doubts.

Jesse Stone won't be out done. This is another great movie in the series. Get it.

This is the 2nd Jesse Stone movie, but should be watched FIRST as the events precede the events in "Stone Cold", which should be watched after viewing this movie. (It is not vital to the enjoyment of either movie, as they stand alone, but it does help make the series as a whole make more chronological sense.)

Like anything Tom Selleck is in. This is a great series. Have enjoyed them very much.

If you like Tom Selleck as a great actor you will like this 1 of 5 part seris to add to your library as I did.
