Even though this is the first movie, this is the fourth book in Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone series, which exists in the same universe as Spenser: For Hire, whose pilot episode was an adaptation of the fourth book in that series. (edit) The alternative titles for this movie are: Jesse Stone: Stone Cold and Robert B. Parker's Stone Cold. (edit) Paradise, Massachusetts is supposedly a caricature of Marblehead, Massachusetts. (edit) The character of Rita Fiore originated in the book version of Spenser: Pale Kings and Princes. In the series, Spenser: For Hire, Rita Fiore was portrayed by Carolyn McCormick and later by Laila Robins in Spenser: Small Vices. (edit) Scott Wickware originally portrayed Captain Healy in Spenser: Small Vices. (edit)
