Tom Selleck stars as (now former) Paradise (MA) police chief Jesse Stone in the seventh made-for-television movie based on this character created by crime novelist Robert B. Parker.
Though earlier movies in this series were adapted from novels by Parker, this one is an original screenplay. It finds Jesse once again on overload, looking into the death of a teenaged girl and unofficially involved in the case of a convicted murderer, who he thinks may be innocent.
Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost is available on DVD (click on the icon above for more details), and consists of the movie that originally aired on CBS on May 22nd, 2011.

Richard Griffiths stars as Detective Inspector Henry Crabbe, who is also the head chef at Pie in the Sky, a restaurant that he co-owns with his wife (Maggie Steed), which is also the name of the light-hearted crime drama that aired on BBC for five seasons.
Henry is semi-retired from the police force, and while he'd rather be cooking gourmet meals than catching criminals, he's always willing to step in when asked by Assistant Chief Constable Freddy Fisher (Malcolm Smith).
Pie in the Sky: Series Five is available on DVD (click on the icon above for more details), and consists of the 8 episodes that concluded this entertaining series, which originally aired during the summer of 1997.

Rufus Sewel stars as Roman police detective Aurelio Zen in Zen, based on a character created by crime novelist Michael Dibdin.
What does an honest cop do when his bosses are on the side of the lawbreakers? Outwitting prosecutors, politicians, mobsters, kidnappers and killers, Zen brings justice to modern-day Italy ... whether the authorities want it or not.
Zen: Series One is available on DVD and Blu-ray (click on the icons above for more details), and consists of 3 episodes adapted from books in the series — Vendetta, Cabal, and Ratking— that originally aired on BBC in January of this year, and more recently, during July 2011 on PBS's Masterpiece Mystery! here in the US.
