Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise

Jesse Stone, the police chief of the small Massachusetts town of Paradise, is called to a local lake where the body of a teenage girl has been found floating in the water. What first appears to be an accident becomes a murder investigation as Stone learns that the girl, once a strong student, had drifted into drugs and self-destructive behavior. His inquiries lead him toward a successful writer who makes a living from troubled young people, and also bring him into contact with the Boston mob.

The film is a crime drama directed by Robert Harmon, the seventh feature in his directing career and the third in the Jesse Stone series of television films. Tom Selleck plays the lead role of Jesse Stone, a former Los Angeles police officer now working on the East Coast, with Viola Davis as Molly Crane, Kohl Sudduth as Luther "Suitcase" Simpson, Orla Brady as Lilly Summers, Gary Basaraba as Norman Shaw and John Diehl as Jerry Snyder among the credited cast of twenty-five.
