Product Description:

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.

Amazon.com:
How Tom Selleck's world-weary cop Jesse Stone became the police chief of sleepy Paradise, Mass., is revealed in this engaging prequel to the first made-for-TV Stone feature, Stone Cold (2005). Selleck is once again well cast as the rough-around-the-edges Stone, whose drinking problem gets him ejected from the Los Angeles police force; he soon finds himself the head lawman in a small New England fishing village, where his slow dissolution continues until a routine domestic disturbance case reveals connections to money laundering and murder, with several of the town's most affluent names as possible suspects. Selleck is well-matched by veteran scene stealer Saul Rubinek, and there's good work by Polly Shannon as a city attorney who becomes Stone's romantic interest, and Stephen Baldwin as an ill-tempered local. Fans of author Robert B. Parker (on whose books the Jesse Stone films are based) and Selleck won't be disappointed by this smart thriller. --Paul Gaita

- Jessie Stone - Night Passage, Sea Change, Death in Paradise, etc
I lucked into this movie and immediately began a search for any others in this series. I've since purchased all that are available and have not been disappointed on any aspect of each movie. Tom Selleck is excellent as the aging small town Police Chief complete with the quick wit we remember from him in his Magnum series. The plot was thorough, suspenseful and well written; each actor was cast perfectly for his/her role and the entire production well above todays standards. I found it suitable to ... Read More

- Night Passage
These Jesse Stone series are a great vehicle for Tom Selleck, its good to see him back in action - the stories are great, and suit him to a tee. He has that ability to convince the viewer that he is Jesse Stone - very much a tortured soul. He is very believable in the role.. it seems like it was written for him. I have all three episodes and enjoy watching them very much - keep wanting more.

- Tom Selleck IS Stone
Tom Selleck is always interesting to watch and add in the fact that these films are well made, well written and well acted, one could become addicted to the Jesse Stone stories. I wish there were more of them.

- Jesse Stone prequel
I really liked this prequel in the series with its flawed yet philosophical protagonist, and its gritty but amiable tone. Tom Selleck is perfect in the role. His motivations and fish out of water circumstances are set up nicely, and I truly want to know how he will do in this new environment. Will he continue down the road to isolation and alcoholism? Or will he find new life in this small community? The crimes are interesting, too, but it's the characterization and relationship issues that make ... Read More
