Summary:

Let's look at Jesse Stone in number two, 'Trouble in Paradise.' Stiles Island is a wealthy and exclusive enclave separated by a bridge from the Massachusetts coastal town of Paradise. James Macklin sees Stiles as the ultimate investment; all he needs to do is invade the island, blow up the bridge, and loot the place. Macklin, along with his devoted girlfriend, Faye, assembles a crew of fellow ex-cons--all experts in their fields--including Wilson Cromartie, a fearsome Apache. If Macklin is a very bad man, Crow is even worse. As Macklin prepares, Paradise Police Chief Stone has his hands full. He faces romantic entanglements in triplicate: his ex-wife, Jenn, is in his jail for assault; he's begun a new relationship with a Stiles Island realtor named Marcy Campbell; and he's still sorting out his feelings for attorney Abby Taylor. With Macklin's attack on Stiles Island, both Marcy and Abby are in jeopardy. As the casualties mount, it's up to Jesse to keep Paradise, and both women, from harm.
