This is the fifth Jesse Stone movie. He is on an apparent stake out with the state's homicide captain in some sleazy Boston suburb. Out of the fog a shadowy image appears and shoots both of them. This person then comes up to give the coupe de grace but Jesse is still conscious and pulls his weapon. He shoots at the perp and seems to hit him. The captain is in the ICU in a coma and Jesse is able to walk around. William Devane reprises his role as an ex-cop and drunk turned shrink. He and Jesse have some interesting confabs about more than just Jesse's problem's. Kathy Baker plays a rusty deputy returned to service while Molly is out pregnant. There is the search for a long time missing, thought dead boy. A letter from Paradise leads the still looking mother to Jesse. Through some luck and good cop work they find that the boy had actually lived in Paradise until he died while skating. The town council is out to get Jesse since he does things his way and not theirs, but they will not come out and fire him. Old Suitcase is freaky now that he is out of his coma from the last movie. He comes out with random thoughts and ideas that are pertinent to what is being discussed at the moment. There is quite a bit more but watch the movie if you like cop detective films. This is pretty good.

score 8/10
