Another figure created by Parker was Jesse Stone, a troubled former LAPD detective, who starts a new career as a police chief in a small New England town. Between 1997 and 2010, he wrote nine novels featuring Jesse Stone, all of which have been adapted as a series of TV movies by CBS starring Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone.
Tom Selleck plays the character as straight from the novels as possible; he is older (late fifties/early sixties vs. late thirties in the books) than Stone. The author, Robert B. Parker, said that he found the Jesse Stone films the most accurate television adaptations of his novels. On his blog, he wrote that "Tom nails the character". [9]
Jesse questions him and discovers that he gave his class ring to a fifteen-year-old girl called Eleanor "Billie" Bishop. Chief Stone then questions the school principal, Dr. Lilly Summers, who informs Jesse that Billie was the "town pump." The case becomes odd when Jesse questions Billie's parents and they deny that she is even their daughter.
